Battery

I've had an interesting analogy in my head lately that I've been working on analyzing and seeing through as a full thought.

I recently replaced the battery on my cute little old as the dickens macbook.
I replaced the battery because I acted on assumption that it's refusal to hold a charge was the cause of it's demise.
Once the battery was replaced, I learned it was the charger that had really gone sour.
The source of power, not the warehouse of power, is what was hurt.

With all these fancy apple products, someone once told me it's best for the life of the device (and the battery of the device) to charge it full, and then let it die. Never letting it sit on a charger for too long, and never letting it rest "dead" for too long - But always letting it go from one extreme to the next.

And now that I've prefaced this whole bit quite thoroughly, I'd like to challenge you.
I feel like a battery. I feel like I need to recharge to 100% - but not a drop more. And then completely exude all power within me until I am - theoretically - dead. The cycle continues as I disallow myself to remain "dead" too long, and rather, recharge to 100%. I can't let myself only recharge 50%. I can't recharge myself before I give 50% either. Full, Whole, Healthy - Extreme.

We take care of our apple products so well, but let's work on ourselves, too!
