Oprah’s Life Class Notes from Season 2 Episode 4 The Power of Forgiveness

  • Everything happens just as it needs to be, forgiveness opens your eyes so you can see the opportunities.
  • Resenting another person is like drinking poison and expecting the other person die.
  • 4 Levels of Love:
  1.  Baby Love- give me what I want and I’ll love you, (demand Love)
  2. Horse hook love- do things to get what you want, horse traded level of love.
  3. Real Love- Because its who you are, pure
  4. Pure, Spirit Love- Love even though it hurts you, you don’t stay but you love.
  • Speak the way you want to be spoken to.
  • Forgiveness is not for the other person, it’s for you.
  • Holding on to resentment is like holding your breath- you suffocate
  • Thank him for helping you to create a conscious.
  • The only way you can influence the past is by doing something meaningful present.
  • What other people think of you is not your business.
  • Everything happened in your past in a leverage that propelled you forward, to where you are now.
  • You are not what’s happening to you. You are the spirit through which the happening come and go.
  • Unforgiveness poisons us instead of protecting us.
  • Unforgiveness unchecked becomes a cancer in your soul.
  • Not going to let what you did to me affect me here and now.
  • Sometimes the intention of wanting to forgive people will help you learn how to forgive others.
  • Understand and a just your expectation.
