4 Questions to Help You Find Your Calling | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network

[TipsFromTerri]

I got the following as the answers:
1. What are you more afraid of than anything in the world?
2. What would you do if you knew you were going to die in 3 months?  What would be the last thing that you would do?
3. What would you do if fear were not a factor?
4. What would you do if money was not a factor?

Anyway that is what I got from listening to it three times.  Hope I got it right. Just trying to help :)

Dear Ms Oprah,

From the age of 14 that i have been watching your shows to the age of 25 still following your work, i just wanted to say thank you so much for being such an inspiring and my greatest teacher in life. This past year especially, as i have been trying to navigate my way through life and trying to figure who I am and what is it that i am here to do in life you have been truly my soul whisperer and have opened my eyes to look at life at a completely different angle. thank you for being who you are in the world, your purpose in life to teach and awaken consciousness has been fulfilled in my life:) i find myself waking up so much lighter than before and ready to face the music no matter the beat.

I thank God for you and i pray He continues to show Himself through you to me and many many people in the world.

Thank You

Yours inspired
Sharon Seleka

This speaks to me so deeply. I love to sing. I am a singer. I think opera. Anytime my big operatic personality comes out there are always people who try to humble me into nonexistence. As a black opera singer I got it a lot from people thinking that oh I wasn’t any good, from white teachers telling me they’ll never cast you as that part because that’s not a part for a black girl. But each time I ignored them and found my light and decided that I was going to let itShine bright. And it always helped me to grow stronger in myself and in my talents. He’s so right! When people try to dim your light move far away from them! Go in the opposite direction of their darkness and live your truth. Right now singing is the only thing that is keeping me afloat even during COVID-19.I lost my job, but I am still asked to sing for my church which fills me with so much joy! God has allowed me to use my light to shine for the services that I think for. This is a blessing.

I love how this lovely, smart man admitted that as a kid whether it be small kid or teen, people even your family members don't want you to be big and leave them behind! Most people pretend as though humans are born with this. Smh.

I knew some guys when I was at school who knew or seemed to know exactly what they wanted to do with their lives. One guy wanted to be an aeronautical engineer and another guy was going to be a doctor. That was 30 years ago and both have succeeded in their ambitions. Me, I never knew, despite having the brains to do likewise. Nothing in the education system seemed to click for me. I could never see myself in roles like that. And still can't. I also fell into alcoholism due to this crisis of the soul. However, I did find that I actually enjoyed working outdoors, gardening and that kind of stuff. And that's where I found my salvation really. I got sober because I fell in love with the outdoors and that kind of work and have been pursuing that for 14 years now. It's been a whole change of life for me really. And they're right, it is a real job trying to find something that you truly enjoy doing, brings you satisfaction and fulfilment. That is the ultimate goal in life in my opinion.

I totally believe we have a calling, we act upon it everyday as we interact with people we meet. Especially, when working, you feel there is a flow with your day.

[Anihime]

Everybody does not know their calling if they're asked about it. AND recognizing your fears and blocks is one of the hardest thing to inner work on. It takes time to go through all the veils to the core and know what we are here to do. Most of the times we must endure suffering and hardships to discover and refine what we really want. So people, don't feel bad if you don't know what you're supposed to do yet, be patient with yourself and take your own time - there is no limit of time for anyone because our paths are all different. Just start looking now (if you're in this page you are already searching) and you'll find it eventually, that's for sure! Good luck :)

[PurdyBear]

Now I know why I am living in clutter, cause I don't know my calling so I can't get rid of anything just in case I need it for that.  I'm also stopping myself from doing it for fear etc.  Thanks Oprah you are a true teacher!

the end is the best part to me right now" the war of art" the closer you get to manifesting your dream the harder you have to fight

[thechosenkuan]

When I was doing my yoga teacher training, I asked my teacher “What is the meaning of life, ” hoping to get a profound answer. He simply said, “To live as happily as we can.” In yoga, we learn that to live happily, we must first find what makes us happy and do that. What are we passionate about? What stirs our loins and makes our heart soar when we think about it? Doing what we love allows us to honour our true essence and live authentically. This brings us into alignment and union with who we really are. When we are in alignment with our truest selves, and recognise that this is our identity and what defines us, this will then be our calling. Living this way will move us towards peace, happiness and abundance. So do what you love and live happily 🙏🏼

[ashapompey]

I know my calling is helping people in anyway and becoming a motivational speak but fear of the unknow thats keep me from doing it but everyday i ask God to make me fearless and step out and do it. thank you Oprah for all your inspirational videos. I love you and i wish one day u can come to Trinidad.

[rosalynnm]

Some people know their "calling" right from when they were little but a lot of people don't. Even those searching for many years. Sometimes you have to look at your life as a whole and see where it is leading you. For some may have more than one "calling".

[ecaldwell]

ThX U Oprah for saying that! As soon as he said most people will know, I immediately said NO THEY DON’T.

[LaurenMcCann]

Best advice I ever got was pretend every job paid the same amount of money...what would you choose to do...really think about it and then go after that everything else will fall into place find your passion

[Islandgyal]

Oprah- thank you for being a continuous light in this world. I often wished that i wasn’t at work or school when your show came on so I can enjoy it. Now I get to enjoy your inspiring words of wisdom whenever I need the extra boost. I am a writer, I’ve been a writer since I needed an avenue for my emotions after my parents divorce. I now wish to leave me full time job to enjoy the freedom of entrepreneurship using my gift. I know that my calling is somewhere within that- I’ve also been reading some Steve Harvey. Thank you for your channel- Own itself and on YouTube.

I read a wonderful line a while back ; " Every child is an artist until they are told they are not " . That impacted me after I first read it that I at that time wished I had read that simple line before I had children.

[titaniumanton]

This is really TRUE.... This is always how I feel....always sabotaging myself to please people....

[rosarioborboa]

Friend just said this to me. Mission and purpose is kind of convoluted your mission and purpose is really to discover your own innate divinity the divine is going to support you no matter where you go or what you want to do you simply want to follow your greatest joy and if it seems like it’s just all falling into place and it’s really what you want to do then it’s your choice to do it that’s the scary part is how truly powerful and truly in control we are we want to give our control over to some higher authority and yet it really is up to us to decide what is right.

[Lana-gpfj]

Our job--purpose--in life is to experience challenges that the soul is only able to experience in this 3D world in order to grow. We are also here to anchor love (express love to others) in order to raise our vibrational frequency and in so doing also contribute to raising the vibrational frequency of the collective consciousness and the planet.

Oprah you are my biggest inspiration! I'm studying your success and perspective so I can bring as much light and positivity into the world as you. I have producers interested in collaborating with me to make a TV show that has same intentions as yours. Thank you for being such a great leader and showing me how it is done. I happened across the Book "The Oprah WInfrey Show: Reflections on an America Legacy" that celebrates you and your show and I have been devouring it, gaining insights into format and content ideas. Clarifying my intentions, expanding my ideas of what is possible for expanding and raising consciousness. I love watching great teachers teach, it shows me whats possible and excites me. And thank you so much to your team - for making it possible for us to enjoy your teachings and be nurtured by them. Each and every person on your team is doing such valuable important work. They make it possible for us to be enriched by the teachings. A sincere and deep thank you to you all at OWN. For your dedication and commitment to being agents of positive change.
