Die goldene Regel (Behandle andere so, wie du von ihm behandelt werden willst) lebt sie glaubwürdig vor. Nichts ist ihr in den Schoß gefallen und Menschen, die das Glück suchen, entgegnet sie die ganz einfache Frage: "Was geben Sie der Welt?"
Das eigene Glück, dass man empfängt, ist direkt proportional zu der Liebe, die man gibt. Eines hat Oprah Winfrey vom Leben gelernt: was ich auch denke, sage oder tue, es kommt zu mir zurück!
Oprah Winfrey hatte viel Glück im Leben, keine Frage, und günstige Umstände haben eine sagenhafte Karriere ermöglicht. Bei alledem scheint mir aber ihre grundlegende Haltung anderen Menschen gegenüber, die man in ihren Fernsehsendungen spürt, der Auslöser bzw. tiefere Grund dafür zu sein.
Dieses Buch (gegliedert in die Abschnitte Freude, Durchhaltevermögen, Nähe, Dankbarkeit, Chancen, Ehrfurcht, Klarheit, Stärke) liefert autobiografische Hintergründe und wunderbare Anleitungen für ein glücklicheres, zufriedeneres, erfüllteres Leben. Ihre tägliche spirituelle Übung ist die der Dankbarkeit: 'ich preise mein Leben, indem ich jeden Tag mein Glück preise.'
Wäre das Wort DANKE das einzige Gebet, das du je sprichst, so würde es genügen. (Meister Eckhart)… (mehr)
