From her stirring Time’s Up speech at the Golden Globes, which prompted the hashtag #Oprahforpresident to go viral on social media, to signing a multi-year deal with Apple and dominating the Forbes list in its annual list of the world’s billionaires as per usual, Aunty O is killin’ it left, right, and centre.

However, despite the strong clamoring for Oprah to become president, she addresses politics as she sits down with Vogue Britain‘s Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, and gives her unfiltered opinion about politics.

“In that political structure – all the non-truths, the bullshit, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on – I feel like I could not exist. I would not be able to do it. It’s not a clean business. It would kill me.”

During the interview, the media mogul also delves into lighter issues such as a near fashion mishap that might have occurred but was abated all thanks to Google – she nearly wore a ‘whitish’ dress to the royal wedding, as she thought it was cream at first. Gasp! But luckily, renowned fashion designer, Stella McCartney was able to remake the dress in pink in record time. Anything is possible when you’re Oprah, right?

She also spoke about the ongoing #MeToo and #TimesUp movements.  “People talk about ‘these are such dark times’, but what if we shift the paradigm? Because I see it differently,” she asserts.

“I see, ‘Isn’t this remarkable that we’re waking up?’ For years, women have endured craziness. This is what’s happening to people. They’re allowing themselves to not just become corroded, but to become hysterical. You’ve got to lean to the happiness.”

Key take-out: Be like Oprah. Make a positive spin on any negative situation. Attitude is key!

However, bad day not a bad life!

I found some inspiring quotes that just might help you and I get back into gear. We might bend but we don’t break right?

Here are some inspirational vibes from the girl boss that started it all: Media mogul and richest black woman in the world, Oprah Winfrey.

When you’re not content

Sometimes, our frustrations can stem from feeling a sense of discontentment about our situation: A job, a marriage, a relationship or even a life. What that does is it opens the door to ungratefulness for the things that we do possess however imperfect and let’s face it, nobody has it perfect.

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

When you’re afraid to fail

Fear is debilitating and many times, could be the reason you either stay stagnant or unable to grow. I once read a book by actress, Gabrielle Union, entitled: We’re Going to Need More Wine. In the book, she quotes one of her dying best friends who stated that she wanted the world to know that “fear can kill you”. This statement couldn’t be any more true. Maybe the reason you’re having such a frustrating day is your inability to advance or move forward because you are afraid of failure. Well, you’re going to have to understand that failure just comes with the territory. How do you move forward if you never try?

Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness.

When you’ve stumbled too many times

We’ve all been here. We know the feeling. You feel like giving up and throwing in the towel because surely, a grown woman shouldn’t make these many mistakes. Calm down and breathe. Hear what Aunty Oprah has to say on the topic.

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

“The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.”
