The Road To Success Is Never a Straight Line

This weekend I watched a number of programs that reminded me how to impact my own life. I was reminded to: Not give up and do not be dismayed by the many ways, roads I've traveled to reach my goal of success.

I watched Oprah's Life Class on OWN with Steve Harvey and Being Tamar on Centric.  While I was entertained, entertainment wasn't my goal.  Inspiration, wisdom and knowledge was my goal.  I can say goal achieved.

Each one I mention above are successful and their success didn't happen over night.

Some may scratch their heads about Steve.  Others might ask what in the world kind of wisdom can Tamar Braxton give?  Oprah is a proven commodity but there are souls that still doubt her presence, ability and influence.

On OWN's wildly insightful Life Class, Steve Harvey promoted his latest world wellness project, Act Like A Success.  While I could fill the page with such memorable quotes from both Oprah and Steve to inspire us to be our best selves... The two thoughts that most resonated with me were: 1) Steve's testimony about how many things he's tried before landing on where he is today.  Not to mention the mountainous terrain he's had and continues to cross.  2) Distinguish between your talent and your gift.  Your talent is what you paid for, your gift is what you're made for...  Your gifts are directly correlated with your purpose.
