“I'm building a reputation I can stand behind.”
A reputation built on real behavior is durable. One built on image management is fragile. The difference is simple: do you do right because people are watching, or because it's who you are? Keep building the durable kind.
Your Practice
Write down three behaviors you've made consistent that reflect who you want to be. These are your anchors. When a hard decision comes, ask which choice is consistent with those three things — then act accordingly.
The Architects
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book X
