Oprah’s Life Class – Lesson 5: Joy Rising (The Car Giveaway)

Oprah Reflects on the Famous Car GiveawayWhen was the last time you felt pure JOY?

Have you ever wanted to have that Oprah moment, when you could give big things to people that deserve it the most?

I’d love to be able to be in a room full of hard working moms that are doing their best to pay the bills, put food on the table, and raise their children and say “You get a spa vacation…and you get a spa vacation and you get a spa vacation”.

Even more spectacular would be for me to be able to say “You get a year’s salary to stay home with your children…and you get a year’s salary to stay home with your children, and you get a year’s salary to stay home with your children, and you get a year’s salary to stay home with your children”.

That would be a magical day!

Oprah’s Lifeclass Questions

In lesson 5 of Oprah’s Lifeclass, Oprah asks us to really reveal our true essence of joy by providing us with these four questions…

1. What’s the smallest joy you had today?

2. What’s one good thing you have to share with someone else?

3. When was the last time you felt pure joy—with no guilt? Describe the moment. How can you have more of that?

4. When was the last time you were surprised by joy?

My Joy Rising Answers…

1. The smallest joy I had today was listening to my son breathe while he was sleeping this morning.

2. One good thing I have to share with someone else is how alive I feel blogging and live tweeting for Oprah’s Lifeclass!

3. The last time I felt pure joy—without guilt—was when I was live tweeting at Harpo Studios during one of Oprah’s webcasts. I can continue to have more of that kind of joy by pursing even more of my dreams, by living my purpose, and by being of service to the world.

4. I was truly surprised by joy I felt when I was at Harpo Studios. My joyful energy was too much for my body to contain.
