Before Oprah started her 1994 season she read Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukov.
In that book she learned about the power of intention, up until that point she had produced some trash TV that showed the lesser side of humanity. Once she read Gary’s book she decided to use her platform as a force for good.
This originally caused a dip in her ratings from 13 million viewers to 9 million viewers. That is a pretty substantial drop.
But Oprah had stopped living in the low vibration of competing for numbers. She had moved on to a bigger purpose. She was now living with intention and was going to make the world a better place.
Over 200 talk shows came and went during the time the Oprah show was on air.
Being a force for good matters.
Living with intention matters.
Not letting other people’s agenda, your current results, the ratings, FOMO (fear of missing out), or anything that is based in scarcity, steer you away from what you’re trying to do.
Just for today think about how you can apply this to your life.
What is your intention?
How can you be a force for good?
What can you decide to do that you won’t stray from no matter what results you are getting?
