"Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create."— Oprah Winfrey
There are few things that Oprah Winfrey says that don’t immediately feel quotable. Of the many words of wisdom that she has imparted upon her viewers over the years, however, this quote, excerpted from her book, What I Know for Sure, encompasses much of what the media mogul stands for. She encourages us to create our own destiny; accept agency into our life; push back against the tug of inevitability. Winfrey, who herself struggled through a troubled childhood, has used her own story as an example of what is possible if only we decide to take control of our own narratives.
