Denzel Washington on Getting What You Asked For

Welcome to Make Daily! This email contains an idea, reflection, and a simple action you can take on your work today.

Idea 💡

"You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it." — Denzel Washington

Reflection 🤔

It’s a cliche, but true: if you can’t be happy before reaching your goal, you won’t be happy afterward either.

We often fool ourselves into thinking that our problems will disappear once we reach a certain goal. However, our problems often just take a different form.

We need to be content with what we have now, before we can be happy with what we get later.

Action ✅

Where are you lacking gratitude? Have you lost your joy and bigger picture? Take a moment to reclaim it.
