Oprah reminded us that true success is measured not just by what you achieve, but by who you help rise. So today, let’s bring that wisdom down to earth. Elevating someone doesn’t always require a platform, money, or a big gesture. Often, it’s the quiet, intentional acts that carry the most power.

Before the day is done, ask yourself: Who did I elevate? And if you’re not sure yet - here are 3 ways to make it happen.

1. Reflect Someone’s Strength Back to Them

We all need to be reminded of our strength. Take a moment to speak it into someone else’s day. A text, a voice note, even a comment like “You handled that so well” can be the thing that lifts someone up and helps them keep going.

2. Open a Door, Make a Connection

You know people. That’s a superpower. Introduce someone to a new opportunity, idea, or person. That one connection might be the exact thing they needed to rise - and they’ll remember who gave them that boost.

3. Celebrate a Win - Even a Tiny One

Big or small, every win counts. And when someone feels seen in their effort, their momentum builds. Did they show up? Try something new? Let them know: “I noticed. You’re doing great.” It’s a spark - and sparks start fires.

⚡A Great News Day Powerful Takeaway

You don't need to be famous, rich, or powerful to elevate someone. You just need to care. Today, let your energy be a ladder. Before your head hits the pillow, ask: Who did I elevate? If you don’t have an answer yet - you still have time.
