Oprah Winfrey Quotes

I Once Taped A Show In Which A Life Coach Discussed The Concept Of Self-care - Putting Your Own Needs Ahead Of Anyone Else's - And The Audience Booed. Women Were Upset By The Mere Suggestion That They Should Put Their Needs Before Those Of Their Children. I Interrupted To Explain: No One Was Saying You Should Abandon Your Children And Let Them Starve, The Life Coach Was Suggesting That You Nurture Yourself So You'll Have More Nurturing To Give To Those Who Most Need You. It's The Airplane Oxygen-mask Theory: If You Don't Put On Your Mask First, You Won't Be Able To Save Anyone Else.
