Live as if everything you do will eventually be known. –Hugh Prather

Prather is reminding us that we leave a legacy…for good or bad. Remember, so of the greatest people of recent history, Martin Luther King; John Kennedy; to name a few, left great legacy, but they have been tarnished to some degree as some of their foibiles were revealed over time.

None of us are perfect, but always try to think how you would feel if what you were doing today was in the newspaper tomorrow.
