You truly have to be FREE. In order to be HAPPY. Freedom doesn't mean free from slavery either. It means free to make the financial decisions you want. Free to know your body and own your health and free to be secure about your environment and overall accomplishments in love or individuality. When you have accomplished the true meaning of FREEDOM, then and only then can you be truly HAPPY because it is then when you are FREE from WORRY. Worry repels happiness. You have to free yourself from worry in order to be happy.
The reason why Finland & Norway, and some other places that people are happier than in U.S expects less is because, they have very good secure social system in their country. They don’t have to worry about going to doctors and dentists and figure out how to pay bills. The reason why especially in U.S, people pursue higher achievement is because that’s how social system works to survive. If you are an average person, you will never feel or be enough as long as you live in this social system & culture.
Thank you ! I was gonna say yes I love Oprah and what she is saying about happiness but girl you have all the money in the world to self reflect we are out her just trying to survive paycheck to paycheck
@@ninatolins4924 I’m not sure if Oprah remembers why she is where she is today. It was her ambition and dedicated hard work, trying to achieve more. It just can’t be only because “following passion for what I love to do”.
@@mariogamefreak1 just because they dance around the fish they caught, it doesn’t mean they are happiest people. They suffer in many aspects of daily life that we take granted of in western world.
I resonate with Oprah Winfrey on many levels. From a practical standpoint, I've come to understand that happiness can sometimes seem elusive, and the act of constantly questioning our state of happiness can be a waste of time, just like feeling envy. So, why compare ourselves to others? In this incredible journey called life, I've realized that not everyone will experience a comfortable and secure existence, and that's the reality.
But, here's the inspiring part: Amidst the suffering and hardships that many face, it's essential to find a place within yourself where you are free. Make peace with this inner sanctuary and adorn it with your unique aesthetic. Create a window and a door, to which only you hold the keys, and take flight. It might be tough at the beginning, but through the trials of inner peace and deep breaths, you'll come to realize that nothing can compare to the power of the present moment. Om Shanti
Wow Edward . Just wow . Thank you for this word . As I try to navigate my own despair in this moment I understand it’s just that a moment . And I have so many other experiences and memories awaiting me on the other side . And as I walk this road , I’ll keep what you wrote in mind . To make that place of inner sanctuary and nourish that place inside me that yearns to be free . One day my friend.
Love and blessings to you and your family ❤
I loved reading your comment. Thank you, it helped me 🙏🏻
@@blacgyp7538Bless you, keep going, don't give up. Sending you light and strength 🙏🏻
She let people die.
Do you resonate whit her being on Jeffrey Epstein flight list to dirty island to ?
Have loved Miss Oprah for very many years too many to count. She is just wonderful and wise. She really has been an inspiration. Thank you!
You can’t play that black card with the native Hawaiian 😂
"WHAAAAT!" she sold her UK RF racism story without any facts check , you better watch she can push for more anywhere
Exactly
Let her have her peace

why
Great interview by Norah of one of the great women of our time. Oprah never ceases to inspire. 🙏💖
Inspires you to see opportunity in the midst of a crisis, like her buying up 1,000 acres of land in Maui right after those fires just happened to displace all the natives? 🤔
She was a good actress I realised this when she broke down in tears empathising with victims of child abuse saying she had been abused when she was young ,many years later when her family asked her why she lied she admitted it was to advance her career. Strange that it wasn't taken up more fully by main stream media or this show.
"What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?"
I learned later in life that Happiness = Peace of Mind.
Better later than never
Hello 👋
How are you doing today beautiful?
Insurance agencies are gonna exploit you 😂
Exactly, and knowing what to do to get peace of mind....
I always did like Oprah, she's right... The key is being able to identify negative feelings so you can change them. I consider myself to be happy in general, and I know what makes me happy and where that goes but there are negative feelings I have to conquer as well.
The only way to that is to identify the problems they're linked to so I can fully resolve those problems by dealing with them directly. Doing that puts me on the road to improving my level of happiness.
The first major step I took to doing that was getting rid of all my conventional social media accounts. Because just like Oprah and many other accredited sources open state, social media is responsible for Americas downturn in happiness and upturn in nastiness... Now, if I can only get my girlfriend onboard then the cycle would be complete. 💯❤
Beautiful conversation. Norah, thank you for doing this. Life changing.
What a beautiful conversation I can feel the warmth and genuity all the way in South Africa.
Why hasn't she been televised her in Maui saying, and you have a new house and you have a new house. No she wants us poor people to give her money in order to help them. Why? She has alot of money. She knows people who have lots of money. Now is the time to do your best for people in dire straights. Do something if not help rebuild, help sue the insurance companies who aren't paying.
Try to Google why the super wealthy give far less than the avg person. They live in a completely different world and mentality that is as convincing psychologically as why the poor would give far more despite having little. To do neither at least momentarily,step out of the matrix, and listen to the inner guide/the synchronistic insights from encounters.. that is extraordinary.. and then to come back do something much more deep and unusual than the surface expectations. That is truly saintly and changes people in a way beyond the "good" vs "bad" into a place where neither matter when compared to the devastating truth and love that we are inside.
To touch upon such place and ask what kind of wrapping shall I give this gift?
Consciousness is dressing up as many characters and thoughtforms.
We love the play no matter what and we are 100x more baddass and loving that we lead ourselves to believe. We can create happiness now even with horrible injuries and no place to go.. inner radiance can reframe everything in one heartbeat. Oprah is neither more or less capable than any person in terms of this auric radiance on deeper levels.
At our core, we are darn near psychic in intimacy.
Prosperity through cooperation can be done overnight for the whole world. We love each other more than tantric lovers. Everything Else is illusory play
Life is suffering and difficult by choice - 99% true. Go Jim Carey crazy on reinterpreting towards happiness unconditionally and take care of life well.m Google how to get into flow state. Thank you for this thought train. I love you.
I agree when happiness is in you, nothing can disturb that utopian, disappointments, madness, even grief are temporary moments of negative emotions. When my mother passed, I thought the grief would sit still in my heart, that there would be nothing else to feel. I visited a waterfall to be in my grief. It was a cloudy day. When I arrived, just above the waterfall, the clouds receded, and the sun emerged, bold and bright. It was the most beautiful transition; I felt the warmth of its rays touch my face. I knew the constant happiness within me made it possible for me to see and feel something so much bigger than myself. And I knew from that very moment I would be okay. Oh, I still have days of missing her, tears that fall with no warning; but it is my constant state of happiness reminding me, I am so blessed she was a part of my life and that her love lives on in my heart.
She let people die in Hawaii
Why did it take a waterfall though?
Those were some pretty words though. Thanks for that.
Happy. Happy, Happy! It's all about you! Have you ever paused and looked into the mirror? Am I making mistakes? Am I being honest and seeing the world as it really is? It's called "Self Reflection".
So true
"WHAAAAAT!" Race conflicts pusher!
Shes so happy she got all that land in MAUI she legit mocking and spitting people in face by releasing book how happy she is
Her unattended Maui land may have helped caused the massive wildfire there. The locals despise her land purchasing.
Does this hating make you feel happier? I can't imagine that it does.
2000 acres of happyness 7 homes $2.5 billion dollar all for her self and she still wants more
@@linguaphile42yep, Oprah is a fake. Even her family has stated that most of how she portrays herself is FAKE. 😊
@@linguaphile42facts are not hate
@@user-fr9yo7sx6h The "Oprah-caused-the-Maui-fires" conspiracy theories you all are apparently believing have been rounded debunked, days ago. Check your sources, but first learn how to verify the info you believe -- Crash Course Navigating Digital Info on youtube, if you need some tips. And yes, when the message is all about happiness, and people come on here with ad hominem insults and ignore the message, then I call out the hating.
I really enjoy her teachings and have admired her since the 1980s.
You are the happiest when you think about yourself the least often
Been with Oprah since day 1 ❤
Did you help her burn Maui?
Wow! Also on the plane ✈🏝 .
@@DebbieOnTheSpotOverly emotionally sensitive people leave themselves open to being manipulated by people on such an enormous scale that they’ll overlook and defend literally anything.
We’ve seen it before with Michael Jackson. People excused him bedding kids because he was rich and famous.
Just imagine if some plumber did the same thing.
Imagine some nobody bought up wildfire-scorched land in Maui during a crisis, then played it off like they’re a philanthropist.
I’ve lived long enough to see enough scandals that prove that enough power and money deludes and corrupts people to no end
Thank you Own for pickup All Rise!!!!!!! Hallelujah
Something evil this way comes...“Sometimes the man who looks happiest in town, with the biggest smile, is the one carrying the biggest load of sin. There are smiles and smiles; learn to tell the dark variety from the light.”
Hello 👋
How are you doing today beautiful?
Weird she had her own fire fighters for her property before the fire 🚒
If you don't plan for failure, you plan to fail
Hawaii people where in her happy way and she made them move she cant wait to make Epstein island 2 happen
She had everything ready before the fire happened. She is so disgusting to ask for money to Poor American people when she has a lot of rich friends. She hired security a day before the fire to make sure victim don’t enter her property. I hope her book gets burn.
She also had a private security team there hours before the first fire was set
hours? like how ppl living there knew something was happening for hours... and didn't know what to do@@deutschchad1399
Some use spirituality to uplift themselves and their fellow man - and some use it as a smokescreen to hide behind, while their actions represent something else.
She's surely happy to move those hawaii people out of her way, cant wait to make new project there called Epstein island 2

John of God was a huge mistake in a series of bad mistakes. Starts to look like a pattern of poor judgment. . .
Absolutely love Oprah! She is quite the human being who has touched so many lives for the better ❤

👌1st Thought in the morning 🌄 and last one before 😴, Oprah 👏💯🌹😉
People are unhappy because wages have not increased with inflation. Working class people used to be able to have a little something left after paying bills, but they don't. They can't repair the roofs on their homes, keep food in the refrigerator. Corporate greed, low wages, unhappy, burdened people.
Yet people in countries with far less economic success than ours are much happier. I lived in Peru for several months, and the happiness and contentment of the people, who had next to nothing, was a real eye-opener for me. I'm old now, and have been through ups and downs in the economy. Her comments about our expectations being so high were spot on. Giving up responsibility for your "happiness" to those things you can't control is what will bring you down. Oh, and I totally agree that many people are struggling right now. And many own so much stuff that there are self-storage facilities springing up everywhere so they can store their crap. This disparity is the problem. Vote for the people who want to build from the middle out and the bottom up, not the ones who want more tax cuts for the wealthy.
You missed the point.
@@educate2cre8 I understand the point but offered my own opinion.
@@linguaphile42Are they secure? Do they know they will never end up hungry or on the street?
Think for a minute.
I can't stand consumerism either. Oprah became a billionaire by promoting it.
@@l.w.paradis2108 I thought she became a billionaire by highlighting people's stories, bringing awareness to mental health issues, showing fashion trends and how to get them for less money, talking about basic health, etc. That was what her talk show focused on, wasn't it And none of us know they will never end up hungry or on the streets, but if you're talking about Peruvians, I think the sense of family is so strong that it does make you feel like you have a support network that will not let you starve.
Every word Oprah says resonates so much with me. It feels like she is reading my mind.

I like Orpah W no matter what others say. She is a smart woman!!
And and a human trafficker and goes to islands😂

I love this scenari about the happiness rible,so being able to answer this story,I love the idea for being to be happy everytime with my friends and the very roots that I could define the enjoyment,delightment and the constant that the bigest lecon that I enjoy talking as I am a philantropic scientific from Harvard Business School.I would kept getting more and I know that many of the things that happen showing up that I am in a good lifestyle happiness because Oprah you are a true friend and I am inspire with your chanel and life is better once you share it and I master the philantropic level very well.Thanks!
I feel like Oprah has evolved from our friend to our aunt to our mother and would make a wonderful grandma.

In the interview:- envy is described as the happiness killer.
I say Envy is more dangerous to have than jealousy... can write the second installment of the book.. helping & trying to explain exactly what i mean by that..🤞🏽
The interview was exceptional. Although I don't necessarily support or agree with everything that was shared/said on the interview:- but a lot of what was said (it is the way it is:- about life & people.. reading the book and watching the interview, can spark some new levels of understanding the uncertainties and how to go about your everyday life. At times people take talk as cheap..! I say talking is therapy on it's own:- each time, you begin to open your mouth. That's expression:- from you opening your mouth & talking we can pick or our now able to make sense or to understand.. how a person is..? Do they sound mind sharp? Does the person make enough sense.. what are they expressing..? what sort of bars/radio/communication waves are they sending.. does the person sound like they ok..? Do they sound happy?? For us to understand if you happy/sad/feeling down/going through a lot e.t.c. actions not all the time can really be sport on. But once a person begins to open their mouth.. that's step one.. it means we going/ can go somewhere with this person.
Oprah’s journey to happiness is remarkable. Poor, black, female, raised in the segregated South, raped at 9, pregnant at 14, never seen as pretty, not raised by her mom. She took responsibility of her destiny and she’s landed at happiness. If you can’t be happy for someone, inventory your own happiness. ❤
And now that she's a billionaire she can manipulate poor people into donating to her scams, truly heart warming 😊
She never had me, but after the incident with her close friend Harvey Westein, her bizarre school in Africa, now Maui, I dont believe a word that comes out her mouth
even harvey's wife married him so it's not her it's him... and that school she built, tell yourself to build a school from ground up in another country and see how well it turns out first time around... what word you believe is your perspective unfortunately@@Ellen_Seokjin

So very much true we learned our own direction through learned experience. 🙏
amazing, thank you very much 😊
Boy ohboy. Trying to PR her questionable dealings. BS
They’re falling for it too! 😭
I saw this on TV - wonderful interview. Oprah would adore Crete , Greece. Fabulous 2000 year old ovens with phenomenal delicious bread. And for pennies .

For giving you.
I wish long age for you. Because you must alive for ua and for all hopless person.
Oprah only gets better as she ages. It is a privilege to live at the same moment in time as this woman and have the chance to learn from her. Thank you
mam.
OH...not to mention her sticking her neck out for Harvey Weinstein and the Cult leader from south America that abused his followers and still was friends with him even during accusations. The list goes on and on
😂
Love this ❤
I just learned a great life lesson after seeing Soound of Freedom at the movie theater.
Yep, and people like her should be speaking about that, instead of twerking with Beyoncé.
i just want my kids to be happy

Love to see Oprah when cameras aren't rolling. I feel in my heart that she's not who she seems to be.... the world is falling apart and she thinks we have control over things we don't.
She's a murderer. Ever heard of the Maui wildfires? Happened just a few months ago and she has a lot of dirty business in it. You can learn more about it on Tik Tok but the real, unbiased news about it have all been censored or deleted vastly in all other networks.
you do realize this is being televised?? right??
If we look for the negative, we'll never be disappointed. Look into your own heart. Who do you help? Do you lift people up? Or do you use negativity to control and manipulate?
The interviewer is so enthralled with Oprah. It’s kinda weird. She literally is looking for validation through her reactions.
Love this 😍😍😍and miss her show!!!
Key word am the master of my fate. Thank you Ms Oprah🙏❤

This is gold! Thank you 🌹

Define your happiness... I wanna meet you in person Ms @Oprah Winfrey..
SO SAD ABOUT OPRAH, I THOUGHT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST PERSON TO COME TO THE AIDE OF THE NATIVE HAWAIIANS AND NOT TO MAKE IT PUBLIC JUST DO THE RIGHT THING!!! SHE WILL HAVE ALOT TO EXPLAIN TO GOD! EVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS. MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL! DON'T BE FOOLED BY FANCY THINGS OR RICH PEOPLE THEIR STILL JUST THE SAME AS YOU AND ME AT THE END OF THE DAY.
Heavens, God just sent his angels to tell you to donate your 10 million. WHO IS FANCY? she doesn't need to give Hawaii anything, she just asked you to join her to do same. GOOD GRIEF
good to hear your not a good friend to anyone!!!!!!!@@cre8tion26
You are so right.I do believe that
How does one "build the life you want" when everything you want requires being able to walk pain-free...and even getting up to go to the bathroom physically hurts! So, sometimes external factors are destructive! I cannot pretend that I am now happy when everything that matters to me has been vanquishef by my inability to walk pain-free
“Casting off one's self” is a phrase that can have multiple meanings.
In Buddhism, “casting off the transient and revealing the true” is a concept that means Buddhahood is an eternal potential within all people. It refers to the process of opening one's limited identity or sense of self, and revealing one's true self, which is the source of courage, wisdom, and compassion. The Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai of China described this concept.
The reporter shaking her head alongside Oprah talking is super annoying 😂 and Oprah is out of touch with ‘regular’ people so she can just stop pretending now 😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing and imagining how annoying she was for Oprah. Oprah is in touch with Oprah which all she is capable of truly. same goes for us being in touch with her or anyone else.
😁😁😁😁
I just luv you both ❤❤❤
Love Oprah and love Norah! ❤
Well for many Americans happiness is linked to resources or Maslow's basic needs which I feel she omits. People in Scandinavian countries are happy because they have trust with their government and their basic resources are provided for them. I do agree that social media has made us less happy and yes hustle culture, but right now many of us are forced to hustle to survive.
Master of my Happiness. Thanks again Oprah I love you,and Jesus WardX said that.

Love you Oprah ❤❤❤❤
My aunt Klara, once told me in Hungarian , living as an indigenous minority living in Romania due to border shifts : “ you know I have had it very good and I’ve had it very bad. But still I don’t know what happiness is.
I felt tremendous sorrow as she told me this, while tying a big rope around the oven so it would close enough- after being the daughter of a kulak.
The only person I can say I’ve always looked up to. The only “Star” I want to meet! I just want to talk to her and be in her energy. I will meet Oprah!
👏👏 its so good to see 👀 you
"Staying in control regardless of the circumstances"?❤
When I became a good cook, a good bilingual pro, a faithful family member, a stronger woman. Happiness just parked itself. But, Honestly...Americans like retirement because that is a life well lived.

She needs to stop begging common people to pony up money to help lehina. She owns 2000 acres. She could stop asking others to give.
I cried when I saw her say that she would be donating all that money... I can't but she can
She needs to donate her millions there since she owns so much of the land it’s in her best interest to rehabilitate the land.
She doesn't need to. She could sell and not care... @@JCX-9
She’s donating 10 million. How much are you donating?
@@TheBang-bc1rk nope, she has committed to donating ten million and it is unclear whether she meant that 10 million is coming from public donations or herself
