Oprah Winfrey

One way to make people feel like they matter is to commit to them.

So they can trust you.

They can trust that when they make a plan, you will be there.

And it's in that trust, that commitment, that you feel comfortable being vulnerable.

I mean, the title is a mantra of mine, which I think, yes, luck plays into it, but so does the everyday...

I mean, Ina is a scientist.

Ina is a serious businesswoman.

She makes it look fun and she does have fun and she prioritizes her fun.

But this is work.

This is every day, five days a week, sometimes seven days a week working.

And that's how you build this unbelievable business and empire.

Yes, if you wanna know someone, if you wanna really know them,

ask them, do you feel like you matter?

Yes.

Did you grow up feeling like you matter?

Do you work in a place that makes you feel like you matter?

Do you matter to your neighbors, to your extended families?

Do you have these deep, nourishing friendships that remind you that you matter when you get pulled off course, when you doubt your own worth?

We all need that.

Yes, I would say where it comes down to is can I dork out for a minute and talk about values?
