It's almost like Maya Angelou just sat down and personally gave me the exact life advice I needed to hear.

When I got fired for being "too nice," this is what brought me from the darkness.

Doing right gives you the kind of protection that body guards can't give you! - powerful.

I love how Maya says ''right may not be expedient, it may not be profitable, but it will satisfy your soul.'' Two days ago I was riding my bike and while crossing the street I was hit by a car. The lady got out of the car and offered to pay for my bike and call 911. It wasn't that serious and I dismissed her and said ''its ok, im fine, don't stress everything is going to be okay , dont worry about the bike, I can get home on my own.'' (I did get hurt but nothing broken) She was surprised but kept insisting to pay for any damages and I kept saying no. Finally she pulled out her purse, a little torn and ragged and i told her ''no thank you, its ok'' She began to tear, and honestly I didn't know why. Coincidentally a friend of mine was in one of the cars behind the lady and got out. She saw the whole thing and said two things ''do you want me to call 911 and did you get her contact information? I said no to both. She asked me why and i told her that because It was an accident. Even today two day later, my bike is still broken and I still have cuts and bruises, but I feel like I did the right thing. The thing is I could have sued that lady, fixed my bike and bought some stuff. But to ruin somebody's financial situation or record at my expense just doesn't seem worth it to me. I think that whoever that lady is she has a respect for me, despite the fact Ill probably never see her again, I think I changed her life.

It sucks that we live in a time where doing right seems dumb to a lot of people

Maya was the perfect blend of kindness, strength, sass, confidence, compassion, and no tolerations for what she found foolishness. 💕

“You have to say, ‘I’m doing my best to live what I teach.’” ~Dr. Maya Angelou

She had a wonderful soul.

"I work very hard, and I play very hard. I'm grateful for life. And I live it - I believe life loves the liver of it. I live it." Maya Angelou

"Nothing will work unless you do"- the magnificent Maya Angelou

I came here today because I need to hear Maya Angelou's voice. I need hope that not all is lost. I need hope that there is still infinite good in people, and that no matter what, love trumps hate. Dr. Angelou, I so wish you were here today, sister. The world needs your words and wisdom right now. Help us heal.

" I am doing my best to live what I teach" - Maya Angelou

Literally crying...we we're blessed to have experienced this Divine soul

Please just do the right thing even when you think no one is looking.

She's the epitome of the kind of woman I always wished I had. So full of God love, wisdom, common sense, street smarts & kindness. She was truly Blessed. I always said she's my mother in my head. She's with the Lord now. Always loved her!

Maya, you were such an inspiration to me. I never realised how much I looked up to you or loved you until I heard you had passed away and I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my cheeks. Rest in peace, you angel.

I think her words have never been more important than now. A time seemed to be filled with so much hate and people brought down all the time, we need to do right. I feel so uplifted after hearing her speak. "We are more alike my friends than unalike."

She calms my spirit. Integrity is what i have, "doing the right thing"

Remembering Dr. Maya Angelou and her wisdom. She will be missed.

This woman reaches into my soul...I cannot get enough of her....a truly magnificent human being! I am so glad to know that I shared this world with her...

"Do it because it is right to do" The amazing Maya Angelou

I listen this wonderful woman's speak all of the time for inspiration and hope you enjoy! R.I.P. She is never gone from us through her marvelous words of comfort! Thank you Dr. Maya Angelou!

This video brought me a little bit of peace today. Very thankful for that.

RIP to a woman who was a personal hero. I am gutted. But I find comfort in the work she leaves behind that has touched so many.

Dr. Angelou's presence on this earth has helped me a great deal, particularly in my childhood years. A national treasure - wise and comforting.

Rest in eternal peace, Phenomenal Lady

Amen! Doing right always satisfies your soul! I love it! So committed to doing what is right!

Do the right thing my Mam use to say that .. she was a very wise woman. 💞❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪

Smiling from ear to ear, Maya I love you. RIP and thank you for the visit. Xoxo

she was so amazing, beautiful in word and spirit, and shared in a language that people felt, the message she was trying to share. She is dearly missed and her message will be held close for a very long time. She was a legend- classy- and with the voice of Humanity in the message within the stories she told.

Maya Angelou's wisdom always makes me feel at peace. Rest well, dear lady. Your legacy will live through the ages.

Dr. Angelou has to be divinely inspired when she penned her poetic pieces. This message is so timely in a world where most of us feel that we should do wrong rather than right. You will be missed but never forgotten. Your work lives on for generations to come.

her legacy will forever live on & I am glad to have hear her beautiful words in such a dark time within myself. she's so uplifting.

An angel who departed, but her words of wisdom, will remember in our soul and minds. RIP Dr Maya Angelou

She still has a wonderful soul! The soul never dies and lives on forever. Especially Maya Angelou's ....... she still radiates Gods love and peace.

"I'm doing my best to live what I teach"! Yes...yes I am!

Thank you Maya, wish there were more people in the world like you. The world would be better then. RIP. BLESSED SOUL

What wisdom looks/sounds like.

We all love and miss you Dr. Maya Angelou. You were truly a gift from God. R.I.P.

She is the first person ever to speak the words that touched my soul

RIP Maya, your words of wisdom have helped people the world over x

What an uplifting, beautiful woman. I feel her love

Maya Angelou thank you......in spirit you are among the living.....striving to be our best....thank you Maya for sharing your gifts

What i've realised and learned from Maya Angelou is that, no matter what lies, oppression and hate is directed towards; you have to continue to rise above. When you have a strong self perception of yourself and when you give yourself to others; you will not be found condemned for. Perhaps, the meaning of life isn't about what is waiting on the other side; the adversities you face along your journey is the meaning of life. #StillIRise

One of my favorite poets🔔📚📒📚May she Rest In Peace forever---- Grateful to learn from her wisdom

My MOTHER always taught us to DO WHAT'S RIGHT, I miss her soooo much. 31122❤️🙏😇

RIP. You left your mark!

RIP Dr. Maya Angelou, thank you for the wisdom and encouragement messages.

Right will soothe your soul. YES. I thank you, Dr. Angelou.

That's true: If you TEACH, you have to LIVE your teaching I'm doing my best 👑. We all ARE!!

It is up to us to choose to do right in our lives people so always make the right choice for yourselves to satisfy the core of your souls

The most awesome thing a camera has ever done was recording knowledge from an elder. Many more cameras should be on now to capture the verbal wisdom that can be shared to gives stability to this chaotic world. Many people don’t read anymore, yet they can hear and see information that fortifies their mind. May that saturation cleanse out the old thoughts of wrong and leave, Do Right.

ASCENDED MASTER MAYA ANGELOU I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU! SEE YOU IN THE NEXT LIFETIME! 🙏💚💯🧿

This healed my whole soul at this moment 😇 she resting beautifully in heaven I just know it

I'm blessed to have been able to see her at Jones Hall on one occasion and the Worthing Theater on another occasion, both events in Houston. Wonderful, magnificent lady. Very tall also. 🙂

Whenever I feel empty,broken and drained I watch Maya videos cause it makes lift up my soul. And said to myself that's it's gonna pass I'm gonna be okay..

Every time I hear one of her speeches or poems I want to stand up and cheer. She is an inspiration to everyone,

WONDERFUL 💙👏🙂Just DO RIGHT!!💕

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. Maybe over 100 now. I just love Maya, and ever since I was a little girl her words and voice have given me comfort in the most difficult of times.

This video just got me tearing up , I been struggling with depression since 2016 and her words just really touched my ❤️

You will be missed. Your powerful blessed gifted words will shine on in history. You influenced a positive change for so many women offering strength and support and life lessons. RIP. Angels await your spirit. You walked the walk of a truly giving life.

Beautiful Woman. Words to live by.May she never be forgotten.

Dr Angelou your words live on and will still be relevant and important for as long as humanity will exist.

A true angel living among us. Dr. Angelou thank you for your light and wisdom and teaching us all to not only do right but be right. I love you. Your spirit lives forever in my heart.

A Beautiful Soul, I want to meet somewhere in heaven, love her words,

Every time I hear her I cry... Sometime we just need to hear it.

God bless you!

R.I.P Dr. Maya Angelou. you are gone but will never be forgotten.!!

You can tell how kind her soul is just by looking in her eyes. So beautiful, in every way. Thank you, Maya Angelou. Your words have brought me more than you will ever know, I will try to be more and more like you everyday and I hope everyone else does as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

She guides my soul, light up my heart, lifts my spirit, elevates my mind, she owns her own power and wants us to as well x

Proud to be of the same frame of mind as this woman. Everyone today just preaches, argues or instructs - instead of working on making people understand.

Amen!!! I completely agree!!! Just do what is right!!! God knows what is best for all of us!!! Very powerful message and I love it!!! Thanks for sharing this amazing message with us!!! 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇👍👍👍💥💥💥💥

I love this lady she is so powerful... She is a good example for all to become a do right person.

What a great blessing you have been to my life.... When I didn't know anything about you, I will never forget when I danced they brought you to the back.
