Dr. Maya Angelou's Advice for Oprah in Her Darkest Moments | The Oprah Winfrey Show | OWN

people watch you because we really approve and really thank you for sharing your faith with other people and spreading that all over the world so it's just wonderful that you're that you're proud to share your faith and I appreciate I have real faith I call it sunrise faith the kind of faith where you know you trust you believe that the Sun is going to rise tomorrow so whenever you are in your darkest moment your darkest moment I go straight to that is the Sun gonna rise tomorrow then this too shall pass absolutely cuz I believe

God always puts a rainbow in the clouds you can't see it when you're in it you can't see it when you're in it Maya Angelou taught me that when you're in your darkest moment in your darkest moment that you say thank you I mean I've literally been on the phone with her with crying and you're her saying stop it stop it now and say thank you I mean ugly cry I mean in my bathroom sitting on the toilet seat ugly cry and she would say she would say say stop it stop it now I go

and she'd say and I said what am i good saying thank you for and she say you're saying thank you because you know you know this too shall pass cuz you know it that's what faith is so in the moment when the bad thing comes you think the thing Nina is that you you think you think whatever it is for allowing you to be able to pass through it because you know that when you come out on the other side of it you're gonna be better than you were or it's hard to do though when

it's like when I was going through that trial in Texas is hard every day go thank you thank you so much for letting me be sued thank you so much let me be sued thank you so much but then what you realize on the other side of all trials be it disease a lot of people fighting you know cancer and other terrible things happening in your life that on the other side of all trial stands outside of yourself that's what I learned in that trial when the guy was standing up in the courtroom going she's

a liar and she did this she tried to destroy the cattle industry that all trial stands outside of yourself and it is to force you to go inward to look at Who am I really all disease all divorce all frustration it stands outside of yourself to force you to look inside to say no this is Who I am I am NOT my disease I am NOT my divorce I am not the destruction that that awaits outside the world for me no this is Who I am hard to do hard to do in the moment but

in time it comes I mean it took me six weeks of that trial to really get that moment and I didn't get it - the guy was literally spitting in my face and my attorney had ruled to ask him to - ask the judge - could you please ask him to stop spitting in my clients face and it was overruled so it was over in Texas so you allowed to spit if you want to anybody else here from Texas no you're allowed to spare here you're um Dallas so your left so is that could you

please and there was overruled and so I thought okay so this is what it's gonna be this is what it's gonna be so the moment he was standing out there screaming this and this and this and she did and she tried to destroy I got so still inside myself but no this is not who I am this is not who I am subscribe to the old channel today and we'll see you on YouTube you
