1. Energy Production: This involves how the brain cells, or neurons, produce energy. Neurons are highly active cells that require a constant supply of energy. This energy is primarily produced through oxidative phosphorylation, a process similar to what happens in other body cells, where glucose and oxygen are used to produce ATP (adenosine... See more

What gives us energy? Can use feelings to gain a better understanding of what increases our individual energy levels.

Why wasn’t this here yet?
3. Energy Usage: Neurons use energy for various functions, like transmitting signals, maintaining the balance of ions across their membranes, and synthesizing neurotransmitters and other molecules. Neuroenergetics examines how energy is utilized for these critical tasks.

How can we minimize the amount of energy we spend so we can maximize the energy spent on others?
The ideas aren’t all gold, but they seem to find the people who want them, and they start to give life.

When we were children in Indianapolis, Indiana, it appeared that we would always have an extended family of genuine relatives there. Our parents and grandparents, after all, had grown up there with shoals of siblings

Extended Family is important. Why not choose the extended family we bring in?
They value me as a resource, someone who GSD and makes things happen.
They value that I know how to do stuff, so they don’t have to.
But they don’t actually value who I am, what I stand for, or my potential to change the world.

They valued the wrong things.
One of my favorite quotes from Bobby Knight is: "The key is not the will to win...everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important" Everybody has the will to win. People don't have the will to practice.

We often think of language as a means to an end, but rarely take the time to consider whether language in itself is influencing our thoughts, not just enabling the sharing of them.
Steph Smith • Gaining Perspective Through Untranslatable Words
Does language influence our thoughts? How can we minimize (or maximize) that influence?
Friendship is powerful. The strength of its bond has the ability to get past everything that seems to be important and find the things that are truly important. Those things are never external. They always deal with the spirit. They are shared values and goals. Friendship is about who you truly are, not who you appear to be.
