Belief

So Oprah is back on TV with a show on her network.  We knew she would - the network is nothing if Oprah is not on it.  She is giving a life class and today's lesson was about belief.  Not spiritual belief but belief in yourself and what you can accomplish.  As a younger person I thought I was unsuccessful because I had done nothing that was truly meaningful.  I knew I would never be "Mother Theresa" but a physic had told me that I would influence many people and I believed that.  So, in a mid-stage look back, I felt disheartened. Where was my great gift to the world?  Later a great college friend (who grew up to be an Episcopal Minister) let me off the hook.  She told me you serve the world by doing what you are good at.  That has been a good way for me to find belief.  Focus on what you are good at.  You may not influence millions but you will serve the world.
