Oprah: What Really Defines a Life-Well-Lived
When it comes to living a full, healthy lifestyle; here's a hint at exactly what Oprah means about a life well-lived.
The TV mogul told People Magazine in an interview that after launching her TV network in 2011, OWN, she felt that she was in the middle of a mental health crisis.
Winfrey went through a very stressful time. While she was recording voice-overs for a television project, Winfrey says she had a moment where she knew it was time to take a step back and take care of herself. “I remember closing my eyes while I was reading,” she says. “I thought, ‘I cannot have another thing enter my brain.’ I needed to pull back.”

Winfrey was partially stressed because of the low ratings on OWN and the constant pressure to compete. The network wasn’t doing as well as she would have liked. “After 25 years of being No. 1, I had become accustomed to success,” she told “People” magazine. “I didn’t expect failure. I was tested and I had to dig deep.”
Winfrey says, there are five ingredients that make up the recipe for a well-lived life. “What I know for sure: Clarity, passion, commitment, reverence, and balance define a life well-lived,” Winfrey said in the January 2020 issue of “O, The Oprah Magazine.” She also believes renewing your mind and refreshing yourself are essential to living your best life. Winfrey says there is a Bible verse (Romans 12: 2) that reminds her to continually renew her mind. “And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
