“Man is most himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.” – Heraclitus
Everyone needs to play and discover ways to wander in childlike wonder.
Constant attention on “have to” events of adult life deflates the creativity necessary to a balanced life.
What does play do?
Play develops problem solving on a fun level. We fall down. We get up. The process repeats. We learn to let go of the fear of that F word, fail.
Adding spirit to life, play distracts from what pulls us into despair.
We escape boredom with the ability to imaginate.
Perseverance, freedom, and joy abound in the fun state. A mastery of newness results in confidence. Hearts swell with nourishment.
Scientists have discovered that even animals play.
Try something new today in a playful way. Drive yourself into a Fun state. Venture outside of your adult life and revel with the abandonment of a child.
In writing, ask questions to discover what makes you feel playful.
Permit playful wisdom to result in a Fun state.
Go play!
