A short motivational monologue by Jacqueline Elliott emphasizing gratitude for family, the importance of proving yourself every day (as a parent, spouse, or employee), and maintaining a sense of newness and effort rather than becoming complacent. Advises prioritizing doing the right thing over money while still pursuing as much income as possible, and stresses personal pride in one's actions.

Chapters

Don't let the news drop. I feel massively grateful that I have the children that I have. I'm going to prove to them every single day that I'm the best mom in the world. I believe I have the best marriage in the world. Why? Because I believe I'm the best wife in the world. Sorry, guys, but it's the truth. When you first got the job, you're like, I'm going to prove to everybody that I deserve this position. I'm going to prove to everybody I'm the right person to be chosen for this. And then what happens is we start getting comfortable. We quit trying to prove ourselves every day, and then it just turns into nothing. We start complaining, we start bringing home leftovers. You start bringing leftovers to work, we start complaining about each other, our colleagues, and just treat it like it's the beginning every single day. Keep that newness there. Don't make decisions based on money, but make as much money as you possibly can. Obviously, but that's not the reason why you do things. You do things for doing the right things. I just want to make sure that I'm proud of myself before anybody else is proud of me.
