Oprah and Inspiration

If you've ever watched Oprah's show, you'll know she has this uncanny ability to deliver a positive message without seeming sappy or trite. She's a master at presenting inspirational topics that truly do inspire, no matter how simple the message.

Today she featured two people who had 'terminal' cancer, and their message was all about FOCUS. They weren't focusing on their illness, they were focusing on their LIVES. If you truly live in the moment, and seek moments of connectedness, peace and happiness, you can't help but experience it.

Deferred gratification is for grown-ups who are too responsible to enjoy life. Savor every moment you're alive, because as much as we don't want to face it, we're all going to die. It was said today that the only regrets we really have in life are not the regrets for what we've done, but what we haven't done.

Live. Be happy.
