11 Best Life Lessons From Oprah Winfrey

"Your life is a reflection of the way you think. . . . You are creating your own reality show every day, in every experience and every encounter. . . . What you believe is what you become, and one person can make a difference, and that person is you."

Takeaway: Watch what you're thinking about yourself, be it negative or positive. Make sure the thoughts that keep repeating themselves in your mind are encouraging, because you can very quickly turn into the person you're telling yourself you are.
