If you follow Oprah Winfrey on her show, you’d know that this beautiful woman is also a huge advocate of the Law of Attraction.

And in this Stanford Commencement Speech, Oprah Winfrey’s paradigm on life is definitely in line with what I’ve been trying to get across to the world.

Watch it below:

I got a few takeaways from this short excerpt that I feel could be given a little more elaboration.

1) Life Whispers & If You Ignore It You’ll Get A Scream.

In my book, “The Law of Inspired Action” that you can download for free here, I mentioned that both of us are able to connect to the Universal Mind and if only we follow the inner nudges, our lives would be so much easier.

And like Oprah said, “Life whispers and if you ignore it you’ll get a scream”.

Very accurate.

Let me share with you my “scream” that happened about 5 months ago.

I came home exhausted.

I put my bag down and I remember that I have a soccer match in 3 hours time.

Everything in my heart told me not to go.

But I still went ahead with it.

1 hour into the game, I tore my Achilles tendon that left me bed-ridden for a good 3 months.

So, I asked myself, “Why did I attract this into my life?”

And I thought that the answer was because so that I can expand my online business.

2) The Scream - Part Two

Today, I found out that’s only part of the reason.

The lesson re-appeared to me today wearing another pair of pants, as Oprah said.

I had an Asthma attack that left me gasping for a good 4 hours.

So, “What is this here to teach me?”

To take breaks and not push myself too hard because it will only lead to a physical breakdown.

I know you might have heard me say I’ve learnt this before but l guess I never truly did.

And as we both know, the School of Life will serve you the same lessons again and again until you pass the test.

I’ll probably have to write something into my morning daily affirmations to remind me of it.

3) The Big Question - How Do I Recognize Life’s Whisper?

In the last few months, I have discovered that The Law of Inspired Action is the one law that has made the biggest difference in my life.

And people have asked me that difficult question :

“How do I recognize an Inspired Idea?”

I couldn’t answer it then.

But now, I’ll try to answer it.

An Inspired Idea :

1) Has the Universal Collective in mind (i.e the community) instead of just your needs

That’s the difference between Inspiration & the Ego-sanction.

2) Will be converted into Inspired Action which is easy, fun and impactful.

If the action you take feels dreary, it’s most probably not an Inspired Action.

But sometimes, it’s just your counter-intentions holding you back.

So, how do you know which is which?

3) Nudges you to take Inspired Action now!

If you take Inspired Action the second you get that Inspiration and it feels fun and easy, but only later on feels dreary, it means that it was an Inspiration but your counter-intentions are blocking that Source Energy.

So what you need to do now is get rid of those counter-intentions through Ho’oponopono or Emotional Freedom Technique.

4) Comes from a place of service

Like Oprah Winfrey said, when you operate from the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.

That’s exactly what Inspired Action is all about.

When you help others create abundance in their lives in one shape or form while coming from a place of service, it doesn’t take much work on your part.

And it becomes a gift to others.

And in the process as a wise man once said:

“The beauty of this life is that you can’t help others without helping yourself in the process.”

So, what will you do to help yourself, my friend?

If you’re like most people, you wouldn’t know where to start.

I’m going to give you one tip that I gave to a coaching client last week.

If you decided to FULLY live your life, what’s the first change you would make?

What would be a small step in that direction?

Write me a comment below and I’ll keep you accountable, my friend!
