  • She's a media producer, actress, talk show hostess and philanthropist

  • She's best known for her talk show

  • She's worth $3 billion dollars

  • She's Oprah, and here are her top 10 rules for success.

  • The way through the challenge

  • is to get still

  • and ask yourself what is the next

  • right move.

  • Not think about ...

  • I got all this ...

  • What is the next right move

  • and then from that space,

  • make the next right move ... and the next right move

  • ... and not to be overwhelmed by it

  • because you know your life

  • is bigger than that one moment

  • You're not defined by what somebody says

  • is a failure for you

  • because failure is just there

  • to point you in a different direction.

  • Nothing about my life is lucky.

  • Nothing.

  • A lot of Grace.

  • A lot of Blessings.

  • A lot of ...

  • Divine Order.

  • I don't believe in luck.

  • For me, luck is

  • preparation

  • meeting the moment of opportunity

  • There is no luck

  • without you being prepared

  • to handle

  • that moment of opportunity.

  • And so, what I would say for myself is

  • is that

  • because of my hand

  • in a hand

  • in a force greater than my own

  • I had been prepared in ways

  • that I didn't even know that I was being prepared for.

  • And the truth is

  • for me and for every

  • person

  • every single thing

  • that has ever happened in your life

  • is preparing you for the moment

  • that is to come.

  • You don't have to hold yourself hostage

  • to who you used to be

  • or anything you ever used to do

  • because who had lived

  • and hasn't made mistakes?

  • When i think about my 20s

  • and what a foolish girl I was

  • and how I would give over my power

  • to men

  • who really didn't mean me well

  • but now I hold no grudges against

  • them either because i realize

  • I'm the one who gave over the power

  • because

  • I didn't know any better.

  • And now that I know better,

  • I know I don't have to do that again.

  • It's one of the most powerful lessons

  • any of us can ever know.

  • I say to my girls all the time

  • that your real work

  • is to

  • figure out

  • where your power base is

  • and to work on

  • and to work on the alignment

  • of your

  • personality

  • your gifts that you have to give

  • with the real reason why you're here

  • that's the number one thing

  • you have to do

  • is to work on yourself

  • and to fill yourself up

  • and keep your cup full

  • keep yourself full

  • now I used to be afraid of that

  • I used to be afraid

  • particularly, from people who said

  • 'She's so full of herself'

  • and now

  • I embrace it.

  • I consider it a compliment

  • that I am full of myself

  • because

  • only when you're full

  • I'm full, I'm overflowing

  • my cup runneth over

  • i have so much, i have so much to offer

  • and so much to give

  • and I am not afraid of

  • honoring myself

  • It's miraculous

  • when you think about it

  • I would say to my team ...

  • cause, every season somebody else was coming out

  • one talk show, two talk shows, three talk shows

  • there've been over a hundred talk shows since we started

  • but every time,

  • I would feel like

  • alright, gotta step up our game

  • the way you step up your game

  • is not to worry about the other guy

  • in any situation ... 'cause you can't control the other guy

  • you cannot control

  • the other guy

  • you only have control over yourself

  • it's like running a race

  • the energy that it takes to

  • look back and see where the other guys are

  • takes energy away from you

  • and if they're too close, it scares you
