Oprah Winfrey Gives Al Advice About Turning 70

During their chat, Oprah Winfrey gave Al Roker some advice about turning 70. The esteemed talk show host said that she was “excited” to hit the milestone. She revealed that as a child she never thought she’d even make it to 60 years old.

“There’s a sense of knowing that there isn’t as much time left and I’m at peace with that knowing and there’s a sense of urgency about living well,” she told Al.

Oprah then spoke about her knee surgeries, something that Al Roker knows a bit about. “My great gift is being able to live in the present moment,” she said. “It’s the thing that brings me the greatest joy. I’m not a worrier, I will worry about the thing when the thing shows up.”

Al then asked Oprah if she felt like she had accomplished what she was put on Earth to do. Thinking for a moment, Oprah said that she feels like it always continues “until the last breath.”

Finally, Oprah Winfrey told Al Roker that there truly is “no offering greater than your love.” She continued, stating that it doesn’t matter if he’s speaking to his audience of millions or just one person. What matters is how you make people feel, the retired talk show host said.

Oprah further explained, “So that feeling that you leave with every person you encounter, that becomes your legacy.”

“So seventy is a number but nothing to be worried about,” Al asked her, looking for reassurance. Winking, Oprah replied, “Don’t be scared.”
