“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
— Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey, said in multiple speeches and interviews throughout her career. One of her most repeated lines, linked to her commencement address at Wellesley College and other public appearances.
When I was a little girl in rural Mississippi, I wore dresses made from potato sacks. My grandmother beat me daily. I moved to Milwaukee at six and was abused for years. Nobody from where I came from was supposed to end up where I am. Every single day I chose to believe that a different life was possible. That choice was the adventure. It was the only one that mattered. You already know the life you want. Stop waiting for someone to hand it to you and go take it.
