“It’s a small island… be good.” –Janette from Vieques

Other people notice our behavior, even when we think they don’t.  Those in recovery have found this out (often the hard way) and will tell you “There really are no secrets.”  How we act impacts our reputation.  How we act impacts our relationships.  How we act impacts our future.  A woman on the island of Vieques summed this idea up well; “It’s a small island… be good.”

Have I acted as if my actions will go unnoticed?  What problems has this created for me?  How would I act if I assumed others witness everything I do?
