Starting Point

Why? Because yes, we did have it right as children. It’s about how often you can return to a state of playfulness, through movement, hobbies, learning, and trying things just because they make you feel alive. That’s where your best ideas, your best insights, and your best work will come from. The things that feel like play are often the things you’re willing to keep returning to, refining, and getting better at. The magic you felt as a child is possible to recapture as an adult if you choose to have the eyes to see the world in the same way again.

So you can take what you do seriously, but yourself not so much. A key part of balancing your life, entering flow, and refining your mastery is actively engaging with play.
