Make time to Play

During summer vacations, I asked my son, and his friends: "What are you guys going to do?" The reply came in one big word: "Play." Perfect answer.

Children are our teachers. I'm not the guru in our home, my kids are. During the time off, I reflected on the importance of play. How often do you ask an adult "What do you plan on doing today?" and get the response "Play"? Maybe that's why our world is broken.

• What would your life look like if there was more play? What would your experience of work be like if you had more fun doing your job, no matter what job you do?

  
  

• How would your relationships flourish if you added an extra dose of fun, laughter, and carefree spirit.

  
  

• As adults, we stop playing once we assume the responsibilities of life.

  
  

• Let's reclaim our inner child and bring some mischief back into our lives!

  
  

• Make the time to play. Find the time to be a little reckless and silly.

  
  

• Rediscover your creative spark at work, fostering a culture of curiosity.

Get back to that sense of wonder you knew when life was all about make-believe, riding your bike and enjoying every second of this journey called living.

And the next time someone looks at you with your business suit and serious face and asks what you plan on doing today, I invite you to confidently give the only reply that matters: “I'm going out to play."
