The human mind has no personal growth limits. It can grow for ever. But growth of the mind is not automatic. Growth requires effort. When a person gives up on his effort, his mind stops growing. When intellectual growth stops, the capacity for life and happiness begins shrinking and the mind begins to die. Aging is a process of deterioration, while growth is the opposite of deterioration. Only when growing stops can aging begin. The human mind never has to stop growing. In fact human life itself never age. No scientific, formal dynamic law of nature dictates, that a person has to age and die. Indeed a person may be able to live indefinitely under fully integrated rational, physical, psychological, intellectual and emotional condition.
So while your mind may never need to age and die you have to do what your mind was made to do. You have to continuously seek out new knowledge, new and improved values for yourself and society. You have to be creative and productive. Unfortunately too many people get stuck and limited by routine jobs and eventually the mind seized to be creative and fore moving. Too many people with advancing age stop actively seeking new knowledge and new experiences and they give up creating.
The crucial point is that you have to be always conscious. Your mind has to continue seek out new knowledge, new life enhancing experiences, be productive and create new ever expanding values for yourself and society. Then life becomes more exciting and rewarding as you produce increasing values for yourself and society. In turn you are producing increasing personal control and self-esteem. In addition the energy and excitement you are generating, by being in this dynamic, knowledge accumulating, values creating mode, will really stimulate you, physically and mentally.
