Many Oprah Winfrey quotes reflect her belief in the Law of Attraction, and make great mantras if you want to attract more abundance into your life, whether that is with your career, love life, wealth, or health. If you need a ‘mentor’ to guide you along, ensure you make the tough decisions, and have an attitude of gratitude, these quotes will do all of that and more.
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most recognizable names today’; as the host of ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’, she became a household name by changing the way talk shows work and introducing a new, ‘intimate’ method of talking to guests. Her background couldn’t have been more different, however, as she was born into extreme poverty and, as a child, was passed between different members of her family, being told that impoverished young black girls could never amount to anything.
She proved them all wrong; refusing to believe the stereotype, Oprah worked hard and built her reputation, being named by Forbes as the richest African American of our time, and also the only black billionaire in the world. She has worked tirelessly for organizations close to her heart raising $50 million for different causes, she was instrumental in having a law passed that ensured a national database of convicted child abusers, and in 2013 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama.
