According to Akira Toriyama, ki is made up of multiple components, including: Genki (元気; lit. "Energy"), Yūki (勇気; lit. "Courage") and Shōki (正気; lit. "Mind").
So I was thinking about Shouki, Genki, and Yuuki. I think it's supposed to be the same as Mind, Body, Spirit.
I think Genki (Energy) is like the physical body energy. Which is just like stamina. This is what they give to a Genkidama (Energy Ball aka Spirit Bomb).
And Shouki (Mind) is like mental energy or their mental discipline. Like how well they can control or expel their Genki.
While Yuuki (Courage) seems like their fighting spirit which maybe determines how much much energy they can draw out of their body.
Someone like Mr. Satan is a martial master, but can't use Ki. But he must have high Genki surely, but his Shouki is probably non-existent.
And Gohan's fighting spirit seems really low and only becomes significant if he's enraged. So without his Yuuki, he can't tap into his full power.
