On the way home tonight on the NYC 6 train (which thankfully is running post-Sandy) I enjoyed my favorite past time, reading Harper’s Bazaar. Tonight I was delighted to see Oprah’s interview “Owning It”, where she discusses her transition from a 25-year stint on the Oprah Winfrey Show to creating her network, OWN. It was an amazing read! What a brilliant, inspiring and interesting woman! Here is an excerpt that most stood out to me:

“When you have reached the peak of the mountaintop, which is where I was with the Oprah show, you have absolutely no worries…I’d been in the right space at the right time, and I’d done that in the best way possible for 25 years. But you have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”

No words better spoken, Oprah. You are truly the best.
