HEADWAY

July 21st, 2018

Take a cue from the very thing that allows you to read and understand this sentence: your brain.

 

A neuron only fires if it gets enough stimulation. 

 

A couple of weak pulses from connections to other neurons and nothing happens.

 

A few tepid practice sessions with some new activity . . . and nothing happens.

 

 

 

But if that neuron gets a strong enough input. . .

 

or weak signals from a whole bunch of connections . . .

 

BOOM, it fires off like a lightning bolt.

 

 

 

Put in a really strong effort. . .

 

or stay consistent with small efforts, and over enough time . . .

 

BOOM, a little breakthrough.

 

 

 

How we operate (Literally) on a microscopic level is also how we operate on a day-to-day level.

 

 

Feel like a moron, banging your head against something new? 

 

Just keep at it.  The right neurons will fire eventually, and then appropriately, you’ll start making headway, literally.
