Between the Brock Turner verdict and The Orlando Shooting it’s been a sad couple of weeks in America. A very welcome ray of sunshine in all of this: the conversation between Michelle Obama and Oprah at the United State of Women Summit.
Their 45 minute discussion is obviously all pure gold, but the overarching sentiments of Obama’s advice was the importance of self-love and self-knowledge. Her secret to success has been exactly this, as she explains:
“I think as women and young girls, we have to invest that time in getting to understand who we are and liking who we are, because I like me. I’ve liked me for a very long time. So, for a long time, I’ve had a very good relationship with myself.”
Wisdom upon wisdom, we could listen to her talk forever—take notes.
