Learning
is the fountain of youth.
No matter how old you are,
You mustn’t stop growing.
Don’t think that creativity is only for artists, writers, and
musicians. Creativity is an essential element for everyone. Unlike the
outer-directed creativity of making art, solving problems, or writing,
the creativity that everyone can engage in is learning.
As long as we continue to learn, welcome new ideas and ways of doing
things, and continually expand our understanding of ourselves and the
world around us, then we are engaging in the ultimate creativity of the
self.
If one looks carefully at those seniors who are ongoing and vital
participants in life, one will see that a common habit is continuous
learning and interest. These seniors are not the same as they were in
their youth. They have found new ways of learning and acting.
As we enter each new phase of our lives, the parameters change. If we
are sixty, we cannot do the same activities that we did as teenagers.
Therefore , we need to revamp ourselves according to our situation.
That continuing act of creativity keeps us young.
