My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

—Oprah Winfrey

The evolution of self takes shape with time and experience. These women have shared with you a moment in their lives that is a part of who they will be forever. Yes, they will grow and change, but these precious moments they’ve decided to share are markers of who they were, and who they will be. Like Ms. Winfrey’s philosophy, you must take those moments and learn from them to discover your best true self.

Your Soul’s Sustenance

Women begin the pattern of envy when they are young with the simple wish that they could be someone else. That seed may be planted by magazines, television, family experiences, or peers, but regardless of where it began, setting on the path to being triumphant requires you to relinquish your feelings of envy. The everyday put-downs, dismissals, and negativity will hinder your ability to see things objectively, and losing focus on your blessings, plans, and implementation serve as a distraction. Distractions can cause us to stop what we are doing and sometimes get us so far off course that we can never get back on track.
