“The real point of being alive is to evolve into the whole person you were intended to be.”―Oprah Winfrey

I have been traveling with Oprah for Oprah’s Lifeclass: The Tour. Last week we were in St. Louis and we are now in New York. And then Toronto.

If you missed last week’s show, it was very powerful and liberating. The theme was Stopping The Pain featuring Iyanla Vanzant.

“PAIN = (P)ay (A)ttention (I)nward (N)ow”―Iyanla Vanzant

Lifeclass is groundbreaking. In addition to being viewed live on TV and online, it’s interactive with the live audience, and also with fans on Facebook, Twitter, and Skype from around the globe. Most importantly, the content changes lives. It’s entertainment with a purpose.

One of the most powerful segments from the premier show was a segment with Steve Dorsey, aka “Standing with Steve.” The entire audience came to their feet supporting Steve on his dramatic and painful journey. Many—myself included—were in tears. And the Twitterverse was alight with #StandingWithSteve trending worldwide.

HERE IS THE FIRST PART OF THE SEGMENT WHERE 3,000 PEOPLE WERE ON THEIR FEET STANDING WITH STEVE:

HERE IS A SHORT INTERVIEW I DID WITH STEVE AFTER THE SHOW:

The second episode of Oprah’s Lifeclass: the Tour airs Monday, April 2, at 8/7c on OWN, Oprah.com, and Facebook. The topic is Living Fearlessly. Oprah and guest teacher Tony Robbins will help viewers move past the fear keeping us from achieving our dreams.

Below are ten questions from the lesson plan that will be addressed in the show. These questions will help to go deeper into the lesson. There is an interactive version of this workbook HERE on Oprah.com.

Please comment below on any of the questions below for the Positively Positive community.

1. What is the story you are telling yourself right now? What self-limiting beliefs within that story (like, “I’m not good with money” or “I’m not creative”)?

2. Tony Robbins says we need to see life as it is—but not worse than it is. Can you describe your life realistically without emphasizing the negative?

3. He says the only two choices we have are to lead an inspired life or a dead life. Which choice have you made so far? What’s one example from the past six months that exemplifies this choice?

4. Write about a recent happy moment.

5. Tony Robbins has said, “I asked her about her joy, and she gave me her wound.” Looking at the above answer, did you describe something happy—or tinged with pain or dissatisfaction?

6. He says people have six needs: love, certainty, adventure, significance, growth, and contribution. Write down your two top needs from that list.

7. Now describe what you’ve given up as a result of having those two needs as your priorities. For instance, if you chose certainty, which means you value control over things, have you limited spontaneity in your life?

8. How do you define success? Write your definition below.

9. Tony Robbins says success without fulfillment is failure. Does your definition of success include things that give you a sense of meaning? Would you say you’ve been successful so far?

10. Where in your life do you feel stuck? What is the small action you can take to change? Then what massive action—an exponentially bigger step—can you take?
