Watch/listen to lectures: “Cellular biologists now recognize that the environment, the external universe and our internal physiology, and more importantly, our perception of the environment, directly controls the activity of our genes.”
This neurodude likes this TED talk, too. Vision and memory = important. Reminds me of the point of growth, neurally speaking: to lose connections irrelevant to your strengths, and to strengthen your talents through use (which correlates to fewer though stronger neural pathways in your brain) during your 10,000 hours spent developing your specialization. And this also sheds light on the necessity of positively visualizing your desired results in life.
“Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
