“Whatever dissatisfaction you are feeling, your soul has a purpose for being here. You matter. That’s the reason you are here,” Winfrey told the cheering crowd of mostly women during her stop in Auburn Hills on her Life You Want Weekend Tour. “If you’re here, it means you get a second chance.”
Winfrey is stopping in Metro Detroit for the weekend, the second of her eight-city tour. Friday night, she spoke of her personal life and accomplishments and the lessons she has learned over the years. Saturday, she emcees a day-long parade of “trailblazers” including life coach Iyanla Vanzant, star of the Oprah Winfrey Network’s show “Iyanla Fix My Life,” Elizabeth Gilbert, author of “Eat, Pray, Love” and Grand Rapids Pastor Rob Bell, who was one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.
“I’m here to help you figure out why you’re here. I’m here to help you turn up the volume in your life,” Winfrey said Friday. “I’m here to help you figure out what your purpose is, your passion is, your vision is.”
