Last night I had the absolute pleasure of attending an evening with Oprah – her NZ live show in Auckland.  I am now able to tick another thing off my vision board.

What an absolute gift it was to be in the presence of such transformational greatness.

The whole experience feels so divinely intervened – from meeting beautiful souls in the queue for future business opportunities in Christchurch to meeting a fellow psychic medium (from my area) in the carpark with the hour long wait from being on the top level.

From the moment Oprah stepped on the stage till the moment she left I was captivated by her every word which rings true in every part of my being.

I want to share with you my biggest ‘take-away’ moments because one of my values is ‘when we share wisdom we transform mankind’.

1. You are your legacy
This means that every encounter you have whether it be in person to something you have shared on a social media platform has the ability to change someones life. You are your legacy, not your ‘success’, but every person you have touched in some way and the impact that has had on them. This could be right down to smiling and saying thank you to the delivery man who brings your courier, making him feel appreciated. Use your words and gestures to send out love and that will be what people will remember you for.

2. Your life is an offering to the world
This is all about us being spiritual beings having a human experience and no matter how you came into the world that YOUR LIFE MATTERS.
How will you make a difference to this world? Your life’s purpose is doing something you are truly passionate about and no one should tell you what can or cannot be achieved. You are an asset to this world and even if you are the pebble in the water, you will create ripples.
When you come from a place of service then complete abundance comes your way.

3. Authentically empower others
Who you are is amazing and you should not try to become anyone else. Your personality is your biggest asset. It is the reflection of your soul. By being yourself, you allow yourself to be fully present in your life and for those around you. The more of yourself you reveal to the world, the more you empower it.
Move away from wanting to be like someone or have the life that someone else has. You are unique and deserve your version of a great life.

4. Intention is everything
What we put out comes back to us. Our life is a mirror of your thoughts (conscious and subconscious), so be mindful of your intention towards people and situations. You co-create your life with the intention and energy that you bring to a space.
If you believe life is struggle, then this will show up in your life daily. If you believe that you are prosperous then this will show up in your daily life.
Be mindful of the energy you bring into your life and your space as this will affect the intention you have for your life.

5. Turmoil builds strength
There is no life, without a spiritual life, therefore your unhappiness is a reflection of the disconnection to the self.
When you are in moments of absolute struggle with no end in sight, this is actually a good thing, because it is your own divine guidance steering you in the direction that is more aligned to your path. You have to surrender to the attachment of the outcome and allow for the universe to do its thing.
The hard times is what builds our strength and resilience. The more strength we build the more power we tend to have over our lives.

6. Gratitude
Gratitude is the key to happiness and success. It is important to reflect on what you have in your life and appreciate that. The more gratitude you show in your life the more abundance can be on display for you.
Make time to show gratitude to others around you and see how it comes back to you. It is suggested to have a gratitude journal to write down what you are thankful for. Start being more thankful and see how the universe shows up for you.

I want to leave you with a quote that I will be adapting for myself from now on from a poem Oprah used to read as a little girl.

“I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul”
