Cotton wool motivation

On the way home tonight, I decided to do something I have never done - I video taped myself. I do a lot of driving, so therefore have a lot of thinking time. Most people will tell you to use the time to listen to something motivational, or listen to books or whatever... sometimes I do, but more often than not I use it as thinking time. Tonight though, rather than just thinking about it, I decided to talk to you. Now, given my tech probs of late, you may never get to see the finished video (I've just watched it, and it's not exactly a riveting movie)... but the thoughts are important and that is what I would like to talk to you about tonight. I'm not going to attempt a direct transcript of the video, whilst I am a fast typist I doubt I am that good, so we are talking concepts here. And the concept tonight is our ego.
