The Thinking Behind The Tweet
In his 1918 classic, 'The Greatest Thing In The World', Henry Drummond wrote, "Hence it is not enough to deal with Temper. We must go to the source, and change the inmost nature, and the angry humours will die away of themselves."
This is true. It is not easy to do, but it can be done. I know from first-hand experience. We can alter our emotional reactions, at least some of them. If anger is one of our natural emotions, and some of us do tend to be that way, we can take steps, over time, to reduce that natural emotion. We know we have reduced our anger-emotion when we no longer feel the chemicals like adrenalin and cortisol flowing.

Our Habits define us. Our Good Habits will be viewed positively by other people...assuming the other people are thoughtful and balanced.
So, for the benefit of other people there is nothing more worthy of construction than Good Habits.
And, by definition, Good Habits make us feel good because they align with our Goals.
And finally, Bad Habits make no one feel good; they do the opposite; so, the more they are replaced with Good Habits the better.

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
Benjamin Franklin
When we observe repetition, we learn.
When we repeat, others have the opportunity to learn.
