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

Idea 💡

"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs." — Joan Didion

Reflection 🤔

Self-respect is impossible to find when you're looking outside of yourself for validation.

If you constantly need approval from others, you will never have permission to approve of yourself.

Instead of worrying about your reputation with the outside world, focus on the reputation you have when you look in the mirror.

Action ✅

Take one step to improve your self-reputation today.
