Don’t give up your honor and pride.

On the worst mornings, dignity is a made bed and a clean shirt. It sounds trivial next to whatever is actually happening, and it is not. It is a statement, made only to yourself, that the situation does not get to set the terms of who you are while you are inside it.

People lose money, work, health and standing without losing this. It is held in small deliberate acts that nobody else witnesses.

Choose one today and do it properly, for no audience.
