Path to Happiness- part 3
Intellectual stimulation:
An adult mind needs grown up stimulation. No, not that kind of stimulation. :)
Let's put it this way, work demands a lot of mental concentration but the subject matter is not always of personal interest to us. And heaven knows that kid stuff is important and all but can be mind numbing after a while at an adult level. Decorating a house is fun, but really, how many brain cells do you use picking tile for the front hallway? See what I mean?
Most adults do not get enough creative mental stimulation. Happiness comes from burning up so me brain cells. I had a blast the other night at our book club meeting, and so did every other person in the room. We used a book that was mind-opening, on a subject vital to current events, took notes and sat around expounding and debating the meaning of it all. It felt soooooo good.
