"30 minutes? That’s a long time,” I thought to myself.
After clicking “play”, I couldn't stop myself from watching the whole thing.
My eyes were glued to the screen.
One lesson after another ...
One story after another ...
So much of it resonated deeply with me.
However, what peaked my interest the most was one of Oprah’s last lessons, “You become what you believe.”
A lesson from the time when she was a little girl, she believed in her heart that she would be in a better place in her life.
I thought of my life, the 9 year old kid, who chose to leave his family behind, and enter a Russian orphanage.
Not knowing what the future would hold for me, but trusting my heart and believing that I would end up in a better place.
“You become what you believe,” is a reality for me. I believed that I would have a better life and one day be adopted. I believed I would have many new opportunities. I believed I would share my story and be able to make a difference in this world.
