Many people believe that you have to wait for your time to feel happy, to achieve something, to reach certain heights, etc. But not everyone thinks that this time has already come, it is now and is the best time in your life for achievements, knowledge and achievements, all those things that are postponed until better times.
And even if a person thinks he is at the “finish line,” that’s no reason to quit his cognitive activity.
When is the best time for happiness, work and learning?

American and European scientists have proved that the development of the human brain lasts until the age of 50, not until 30, as was formerly claimed. And if a person continues to work with active thought activity, the processes associated with aging in the cerebral cortex may not be observed.
Therefore, everyone should know that old age is not a sentence or a disease. Do not listen to unnecessary claims, no matter how intrusive they may be. After all, everything is within our power.
According to renowned psychiatrist Daniel Eyman, it is necessary to get rid of your inner barriers.
Once you break them down, you realize that our souls and our capabilities have no age. As long as we have life beating within us, we have a chance for high lifts, overcoming our complexes and gaining happiness.
There is no need to wait for a better time for happiness and knowledge, for it has already arrived and its name is here and now.
