Oprah Winfrey is one of the most successful and wealthy women in the US and the world.
At 69, she is a symbol of success – the embodiment of success itself.
This is not accidental.
Another beloved actor, Tyler Perry, accidentally came across footage from Oprah’s youth.
Hardly many remember her in this light in the 1980s.
Then she anchored a news show in Baltimore.
Oprah reads the news about court cases, which is a far cry from her image today.
The footage moved Tyler Perry so much that he decided to send it to Oprah.
Here is what Tyler wrote:

I happened to see this this morning… sent it to Oprah and called her. I asked, „Did you KNOW when you were sitting there in your 20s?“

Oprah’s response is great: She said, „I didn’t know the future, but I knew who held the future, and I knew that where I was, I wasn’t going to stay.“

Tyler commented: We both had a wonderful moment of gratitude to God.

For all those who know there is something bigger waiting for you — don’t be afraid to take the next step. Sometimes it’s scary and hard, but it’s a beautiful journey. Do me a favor, if you will, find someone to encourage you to keep dreaming today. You could be the spark they need. Blessings.

Comments rain down under the video:

Thank you Tyler for your words. I needed to hear the wisdom of your words. Was feeling lost over which road to take now.

Thank you! Needed That Tyler b/c The Wilderness seems like Forever

Awesome I will always remember this I have faith in my God

I know that there is something Greater coming for me! I also know that there is someone that is inside of me that deserves to be listened to! Both of you encourage my soul! I remember going to the NAACP awards. Praying to get a glimpse of you too. Lol, you didn’t make it that year. Nevertheless, I felt blessed just sitting there and seeing people who look like me on stage winning awards. I love you all, God bless you all always! Please don’t forget!
Hinds Feet On High Places! I seem to be living inside of that storybook

You are a inspiration I praise God that there are people like you in the world if you don’t read this I still respect and support your work you have have encouraged me with my work with adults with autism we are small but grateful
Blessings
