Intrinsic drives often persist as lifelong drives.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Do you have some internal drives that have survived for decades? If you do then you know what I'm talking about.

Long-lasting, persistent wants/needs/drives reveal much about character and personality.

[Time and effort spent working to fulfill these persistent drives is time and effort well spent.] 

May your molehills remain molehills and may your ego choose molehills over mountain climbing.

Better to climb mountains in your mind than on the back of your donkey-ego. 

Biting your tongue just before it expresses something quite right but nonetheless doomed to be poorly received – that’s a good thing.

You can choose to adjust your personality so it is more pleasing and less annoying. Sometimes, the choice involves biting your tongue.

I developed a serious interest in other people ... in less than 6 decades.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

From a very early age, I noticed people making mistakes. I didn't just notice it. Their mistakes scraped in my ears, seared my eyes, and caused me all sorts of other discomfort, anxiety, and annoyance. 

But, in less than 6 decades I managed to get beyond the constant barrage of other people's errors...and, when all the dust cleared, I found myself truly interested in other people.

The cornerstone of our personality, our mental attitude, shows up as the general flavour of our thoughts.

We can choose from 3 mental-attitude flavours: Positivity, Negativity, & Indifference.

Positivity is the best flavour...a rich flavour in many ways.

Negativity can be hard to swallow...but, at least, it gives you something to argue against.

Indifference - so bland it's not worth writing about.

Refuse to allow your ego to join the mule trains climbing those mountains!
