Doing the right thing when nobody’s watching is the practice round for when everybody is.

Character gets built in the boring, unwitnessed version. Returning the extra change, doing the reading nobody checks, not looking at the message on a friend’s screen: each one is a repetition, and repetitions are what make a behavior available to you under pressure. When the loud moment comes, you do not rise to it, you fall back on whatever you have practiced.

Choose one small honest thing this week that nobody would ever discover. Do it exactly as you would with the room full. That is the whole training.
