I love how Maya says ''right may not be expedient, it may not be profitable, but it will satisfy your soul.'' Two days ago I was riding my bike and while crossing the street I was hit by a car. The lady got out of the car and offered to pay for my bike and call 911. It wasn't that serious and I dismissed her and said ''its ok, im fine, don't stress everything is going to be okay , dont worry about the bike, I can get home on my own.'' (I did get hurt but nothing broken) She was surprised but kept insisting to pay for any damages and I kept saying no. Finally she pulled out her purse, a little torn and ragged and i told her ''no thank you, its ok'' She began to tear, and honestly I didn't know why. Coincidentally a friend of mine was in one of the cars behind the lady and got out. She saw the whole thing and said two things ''do you want me to call 911 and did you get her contact information? I said no to both. She asked me why and i told her that because It was an accident. Even today two day later, my bike is still broken and I still have cuts and bruises, but I feel like I did the right thing. The thing is I could have sued that lady, fixed my bike and bought some stuff. But to ruin somebody's financial situation or record at my expense just doesn't seem worth it to me. I think that whoever that lady is she has a respect for me, despite the fact Ill probably never see her again, I think I changed her life.
And she was very creative. Even the way she speaks is like a piece of art. Her language skills are incredible. Saw her in person about 30 some years ago at Michigan State University at a lecture.
Do not care what seems to others. Just do right. =) One day, they will see it and do it too. But until then, do not look behind you, do not look around you, just go your way and do right =)
Maya, you were such an inspiration to me. I never realised how much I looked up to you or loved you until I heard you had passed away and I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my cheeks. Rest in peace, you angel.
She's the epitome of the kind of woman I always wished I had. So full of God love, wisdom, common sense, street smarts & kindness. She was truly Blessed. I always said she's my mother in my head. She's with the Lord now. Always loved her!
I think her words have never been more important than now. A time seemed to be filled with so much hate and people brought down all the time, we need to do right. I feel so uplifted after hearing her speak. "We are more alike my friends than unalike."
This woman reaches into my soul...I cannot get enough of her....a truly magnificent human being! I am so glad to know that I shared this world with her...
Doing right might not be Expedient, It might not be profitable but it will satisfy your soul. Your growth process might not be to anyone else's understanding...just keep doing right anyway... It was never between you and them anyway. Thanks Ms. Angelou
Dr. Angelou has to be divinely inspired when she penned her poetic pieces. This message is so timely in a world where most of us feel that we should do wrong rather than right. You will be missed but never forgotten. Your work lives on for generations to come.
she was so amazing, beautiful in word and spirit, and shared in a language that people felt, the message she was trying to share. She is dearly missed and her message will be held close for a very long time. She was a legend- classy- and with the voice of Humanity in the message within the stories she told.
I listen this wonderful woman's speak all of the time for inspiration and hope you enjoy! R.I.P. She is never gone from us through her marvelous words of comfort! Thank you Dr. Maya Angelou!
Dee V Our times are ours ...inherited by God to make as bright as the brightest star.....that brightness lies within us.....our private space to be with Him.......be brave,be bold and love outloud......We are here not put here as humans looking for a spiritual experience ,but as spiritual beings looking for the best version of the human experience where life's meaning is truly found and then spread like the most beautiful music......
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. Maybe over 100 now. I just love Maya, and ever since I was a little girl her words and voice have given me comfort in the most difficult of times.
The most awesome thing a camera has ever done was recording knowledge from an elder. Many more cameras should be on now to capture the verbal wisdom that can be shared to gives stability to this chaotic world. Many people don’t read anymore, yet they can hear and see information that fortifies their mind. May that saturation cleanse out the old thoughts of wrong and leave, Do Right.
Whenever I feel empty,broken and drained I watch Maya videos cause it makes lift up my soul. And said to myself that's it's gonna pass I'm gonna be okay..
A true angel living among us. Dr. Angelou thank you for your light and wisdom and teaching us all to not only do right but be right. I love you. Your spirit lives forever in my heart.
You can tell how kind her soul is just by looking in her eyes. So beautiful, in every way. Thank you, Maya Angelou. Your words have brought me more than you will ever know, I will try to be more and more like you everyday and I hope everyone else does as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What a great blessing you have been to my life.... When I didn't know anything about you, I will never forget when I danced they brought you to the back. And you said young man, this is only your beginning, today that Dance touched me like I've never been touched before, and that I was gonna go so far in life and inspire so many people... Well Dr. Mya it's truly come to pass and I never saw you again like u said but those words has manifested in my life thank u thank u thank u.... Zion
You will be missed. Your powerful blessed gifted words will shine on in history. You influenced a positive change for so many women offering strength and support and life lessons. RIP. Angels await your spirit. You walked the walk of a truly giving life.
There is so much I feel there is so much I gather from these videos I'm so thankful for them thank you for posting saving history herstory it lives on it being the love of this woman Ms Mya.
There's invincible beauty in Maya's words. My teacher in school introduced me to her spoke of her work with such passion. Inspiring. Inspiring my work and poetry. There's a lesson for us all in Maya's words.
Proud to be of the same frame of mind as this woman. Everyone today just preaches, argues or instructs - instead of working on making people understand.
What i've realised and learned from Maya Angelou is that, no matter what lies, oppression and hate is directed towards; you have to continue to rise above. When you have a strong self perception of yourself and when you give yourself to others; you will not be found condemned for. Perhaps, the meaning of life isn't about what is waiting on the other side; the adversities you face along your journey is the meaning of life. #StillIRise
I never met u but i miss u dearly, yes, u are long gone but your words, teachings and love remains in our heart. Such a priceless gift you are and will always be. Jehovahs beautiful creation*
I was listening to this and wondered how many of us may not have heard these words. If we could just pass this story onto not one but several people that feel down, less of themselves, doing or thinking wrong, etc and if we could just get really absorb and listen....UNDERSTAND this story....Change, People, Life would be different. Never miss until it's gone. Missing you already Dr. Maya Angelou...RIP
Amen!!! I completely agree!!! Just do what is right!!! God knows what is best for all of us!!! Very powerful message and I love it!!! Thanks for sharing this amazing message with us!!! 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇👍👍👍💥💥💥💥
Such a profound speech. She had so much universal Harmony. Wonderful extraordinary amazingly energy!!!!!!!!!!!! She was most definitely intuned. Profound self awareness an consciousnesses!!!!! God bless her soul. She will have an beautiful rebirth!!!!
I'm blessed to have been able to see her at Jones Hall on one occasion and the Worthing Theater on another occasion, both events in Houston. Wonderful, magnificent lady. Very tall also. 🙂
Wow she is like an oracle. I love how she says you are my child. You are all my children. I have few words to describe. Only one will really suffice. LOVE
It's almost like Maya Angelou just sat down and personally gave me the exact life advice I needed to hear.
Ikr lol
+Ayonna Hampton i thought the same for me.
It's God speaking through her.
You speak my mind too Boo Megoo :0
no, blacks are bad. i support the confederacy
I find myself coming back to these videos every couple years.
When I got fired for being "too nice," this is what brought me from the darkness.
God bless you. Stay sweet
That sounds odd. Are you sure there's nothing more to the story? Was your "niceness" rooted in flirtation or harassment?
I love how Maya says ''right may not be expedient, it may not be profitable, but it will satisfy your soul.'' Two days ago I was riding my bike and while crossing the street I was hit by a car.

Wow. God bless you.
This message I know is now four years old, but it touched my heart. In this world, we need more people like you, with compassion beyond measure.
That is how a good spirit treats people and shows love no matter what! I applaud you!
You did right.. a feeling that lingers. Everytime you or that lady thinks about that say that feeling will return and not something that can be bought
Doing right gives you the kind of protection that body guards can't give you! - powerful.
Jeanne Petit Very.
Amen!!!!
exquisite advice❤️
she is soooooo right❤️
Amen
Maya was the perfect blend of kindness, strength, sass, confidence, compassion, and no tolerations for what she found foolishness. 💕
And she was very creative. Even the way she speaks is like a piece of art. Her language skills are incredible. Saw her in person about 30 some years ago at Michigan State University at a lecture.
“You have to say, ‘I’m doing my best to live what I teach.’” ~Dr. Maya Angelou
She had a wonderful soul.
Young Stuntz has

The soul never dies. She has a wonderful soul.
@@samanthajwright4839 thank you. I was just about to type that and saw you had. You are a fellow teacher, like mother Maya
It sucks that we live in a time where doing right seems dumb to a lot of people
Beautiful
you right.
Do not care what seems to others. Just do right. =) One day, they will see it and do it too. But until then, do not look behind you, do not look around you, just go your way and do right =)
Music Released does others opinion really matter? do right
+Satesh indeed
"Nothing will work unless you do"- the magnificent Maya Angelou
Literally crying...we we're blessed to have experienced this Divine soul
Maya, you were such an inspiration to me.
I never realised how much I looked up to you or loved you until I heard you had passed away and I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my cheeks.
Rest in peace, you angel.
Absolutely, yes.
NOT Maya you WERE.....Maya you ARE!
Bonnie Blair Solomon is correct, because Maya is no longer with us !!!
so he's saying its in a past tense formats u bonnie.....
She's the epitome of the kind of woman I always wished I had. So full of God love, wisdom, common sense, street smarts & kindness. She was truly Blessed. I always said she's my mother in my head. She's with the Lord now. Always loved her!
I think her words have never been more important than now. A time seemed to be filled with so much hate and people brought down all the time, we need to do right. I feel so uplifted after hearing her speak. "We are more alike my friends than unalike."
Please just do the right thing even when you think no one is looking.
This woman reaches into my soul...I cannot get enough of her....a truly magnificent human being! I am so glad to know that I shared this world with her...
She calms my spirit. Integrity is what i have, "doing the right thing"
Doing right might not be Expedient, It might not be profitable but it will satisfy your soul. Your growth process might not be to anyone else's understanding...just keep doing right anyway... It was never between you and them anyway. Thanks Ms. Angelou
Amen! Doing right always satisfies your soul! I love it! So committed to doing what is right!
Dr. Angelou has to be divinely inspired when she penned her poetic pieces. This message is so timely in a world where most of us feel that we should do wrong rather than right. You will be missed but never forgotten. Your work lives on for generations to come.

Thank you Maya, wish there were more people in the world like you. The world would be better then. RIP. BLESSED SOUL
