What do You Know for Sure?

I was browsing my comfort journal and came across Oprah's 20 things that she knows for sure, which she published in November of 2008.

I liked the article so much I glued it on a page for the future, for whenever I would need a boost. The comfort journal sits right by the "Something More" book, a few pictures of when I was a child and some little lotions that smell like heaven. My "go-to" drawer for womanly comforts.

So, what do YOU know for sure? I will give it some thought. this is what Oprah said:

1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. (This is my creed)
2. You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power
4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou)
5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for something about whatever worries you.
6. What you believe has ore power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.
7. If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart)
8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give
9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction
10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
11. Trust your instincts. intuition doesn't lie
12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter
13. Let passion drive your profession
14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.
15. Love doesn't hurt. It feels really good.
16. Every day brings a chance to start over
17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so
18. Doubt means don't. Don't move. Don't answer. Don't rush forward.
19. When you don't know what to do get still, The answers will come.
20. Trouble don't last always. (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite: This, too, shall pass)
