@@OWN I keep making the same mistakes in finance

[@latonyawallace9701]

I totally agree. I have been miserable on the job and I hated it and I suffered because I thought the people on the job would change but they didn't. I ended up leaving and being unemployed but at least being happy that I wasn't there anymore.

[@christajoy88]

I love this. It gives us so much more control over our life instead of just complaining about what is happening to us.

[@livelovelight1021]

This is the first time I understood "acceptance." I'll look for reality and then take response-ability.

[@awakenednaligned]

LiveLoveLight acceptance is the answer to all our problems/suffering (not accepting reality). .

[@jennyrayman3402]

iyanla the great! i love this woman. such wise sister!

[@simonmuriithi3454]

That's very profound and I totally agree Iyanla.

Oprah would you please let her talk!

Your inner child is seeking revenge against daddy lol

[@MyraValdez]

Ouch

[@MsJoyce31202]

Sometimes THAT along with seeking revenge against those who really deserve it. Daddy or mommy issues color the reason why we pick certain folk.

[@isisheggs8065]

So true this is a jewel!! when you don't expect reality the way it is you go against the grain peace comes when you can see it for what it is and then act accordingly

At times Oprah interprets too much between the talks, we miss the essence of oration. Someone got to remind her.

Had to do this looking at my stocks plummeting beginning last year. I was in shock/denial. It still hurts, but wanting the situation to be different just made me suffer more.

Well, leaving a job without savings or other perspectives ,just because you hate its irresponsable ,fulish ! It can lead to be on thé streets However its often possible to prepare , trained etc for something we like .Some of us did not get a good éducation , did grow up with almost zéro opportunities Yet they have to make a living somehow !

[@Myfriendismultiple]

Fudge Fantasy you are so judgmental, let her be who she is and her authentic self is never to say nasty things about others. A page you cauld take from her book.

[@brentduanefoster]

Faith Lutta Fulfill your contract to the best of your ability, then move on. I had to do that with my military service. I realized that it wasn't for me long term, so I got through my contract, and got out.

I won't accept what I don't like!

[@khangelwakhathi508]

Accept that it has happened and choose to deal with it by either moving on or staying but remember to forgive so you wont always be resentful

[@spencer5113]

Then you’re going to be miserable and jaded.

[@mightymight4348]

A relationship 😟

[@tubailey2459]

Stop being a victim of your own story

[@lacemitchell9895]

I feel like in a sense she's right. However what's so wrong with going against the status quo? It kind of sounds like she's saying it's wrong being a revolutionary or thinking outside the box is wrong. Going against the realities of some of society's rules has brought many good things.

[@queenesreina7424]

I think what she was saying wasn't an argument against thinking outside the box. My take on it was that, in order to respond to a situation in a meaningful way, one first needs to identify the situation *honestly* -- to acknowledge the _reality_ of it. As she said in the video, once you acknowledge what the situation really is, you can then choose how to respond to it...be it in a conventional or in a "revolutionary" way. You can choose a revolutionary way to respond to a broken car part (maybe you'd have been the first to try duct tape or Bond-o...), but, if you don't accept the reality that the part that's *really* broken/cracked is the gas tank and not the carburetor(sp?), you will suffer for it, if for no other reason than the fact that you won't have been effective at resolving the actual malfunction (or dysfunction, as the case might be).

[@lacemitchell9895]

Queen Es Reina k.

[@matthew6190]

That was my take on it too, very well said.

[@jewellfoster2974]

Lace Mitchell Yes but there is suffering in the cause for change! You cannot go against what is without it. Ao what she is saying is true. Jesus died for the same reason...well one of them.

[@premapoojitanananda7947]

♥️🌸

[@manuelag2128]

A good protection Not to fail and live in denial, IS to circle some true, honost people around you, WHO dont need you, so they are bold enough, to Tell you The truth,when you need IT,or you will BE decived. And another Thing to both Woman, please dont Mix Up Philosophie, Religion and humanisman, while clai Ming to be GOD s child. In some Videos that got my attension before, please get yourself clear in that issue, many Woman Look Up to you, please dont deceive Them, because you are compromising The WORD. God Bless you all with truth.

[@exdoode]

Not everyone has the privilege to be able to change their reality. Take the job example for instance.

[@Fudge_Fantasy]

Oprah talk over anybody.

[@mariadantas9335]

❤👌

[@vanaphill2454]

When you argue against reality, you will suffer. trump needs to hear this!

[@MsJoyce31202]

If you live against reality you're in big trouble.

[@michelleottley5292]

My mom's spouse used to walk around with stains and she would make pies and yell I'm married!! Alady across the street told me that everyone knew although my mom was keeping up appearances SMH he can only do what you "Allow "

[@1951kvk]

While I like Oprah, it's important to recognize that she is picking and choosing from a number of religious and new age traditions. There is never a mention of sacrifice, it's only about fulfilling our own immediate needs. Talk about non reality.

[@just4funlive4eva]

She does what sells sweetie. She brought you here now didn't she lol. They couldn't care less about our internal development lol

[@queenesreina7424]

"Take the good and leave the rest behind." As for Oprah's methodology or intentions, only God can know for sure. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that her intentions are good...even if she _is_ seeing a profit from it. Ultimately, the choice is ours as to what we actually _do_ with what she's presenting to us; so is the responsibility.

[@jewellfoster2974]

Queen Es Reina "Chew the meat and spit out the bone" is the quote. In the bible, Matthew 7 teaches DISCERNMENT even tho this quote is not biblical the nature of it is the same.

[@awakenednaligned]

yea if we don't who will. see you're not accepting her or her light... your suffering. keep it to yourself.

[@123CREATIONS]

really?? are you serious cmon now..why people always got to turn something into religion..get outta here..she is helping people...ugh!!

[@ThunderStorm-st7wn]

Shut up satan
