Oprah Winfrey

Because of you, our team is so much closer.

I'm grateful to you.

Feeling invested in is what we saw with Rahan, that it's having people in your life who are

are invested in your wellbeing, invested in your goals, and also having people in your life that you're invested in their goals and in their wellbeing.

And then the last is feeling depended on, knowing that you are trusted and relied on in the workplace.

You are trusted to do something and that the workplace wouldn't be the same without you there.

That happens a lot in retirement.

That happens a lot in the late stages in aging.

We think about wealth span and health span, how healthy we'll be, how much money we'll have to retire.

We need to think about our mattering span.

We need to think about how will we matter to a hundred and beyond.

That is what we need to live this rich, meaningful life that all of us deserve.

Well, I want to leave them with the idea that if you are feeling like you don't matter, you are one action away from mattering again.

And here's one challenge that I've been issuing to myself and I'll offer to you.

that everyone I meet, whether they are strangers or friends or family, I picture them with a sign around their necks saying, tell me, do I matter?

We can all answer that question with warmth, with a smile, with kindness, with compassion instead of judgment.

We are starved in this modern world.

We are starved of mattering.

Be a mattering agent.

Be somebody that makes people feel like they matter.
