Use It Or Lose It
Whatever we don't use, we will lose. For example, if you decided to spend three years in a wheelchair for no other reason except that you like sitting down, when the three years are up, you won't be able to walk. Stop using your legs and they stop walking. The same applies to any skill. If you stop playing the piano for twelve months, you lose your touch. Stop swimming for five years, you will fear the water. Stop using your creative imagination and it will evaporate. Stop practising your Maths and you will forget all your formulae. Similarly, we have to keep using our mind to keep it in good shape or we will eventually lose it too.
There is no reason why we should become less able as the years go by. If we keep on using our mental capacity to the fullest, our mind will keep on working for us. So unless we continue to make the most of all that we have, we don't get to keep it. Use it or lose it.
