Life cannot be static, it needs change and development, growth and progression in all aspects-physical, mental, spiritual and cognition. The route for maturity does not depend on physical growth and development alone because it is an evolutionary and biological process. The process of individual maturity starts when the individual understands oneself in its fullest possible as a means of change to a different way of life with a different purpose by relying on the divine grace. Life in fullness is a step towards achievement of intra-personal and inter-personal communion because individual needs to have peace within oneself- body, mind and soul which were created through the will of God and the central core of the soul is the mind. When any of these factors are disturbed, the individual will not be a progressive being but when these three aspects are in balance i.e., mind, body and spirit, the individual brain will be more constructive and fulfilling the purpose and experience an abundant life. Positive Mental Health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, utilizes the abilities to cope up with the normal stresses of life and work productively, progressively and fruitfully. It is a state when the individual person is able to constructively contribute to the needs of the society or community. In other words, when an individual gradually pursue for growth, change and development in all aspects of life.
