This topic has been a recurring theme for me lately. The importance of play, the energy of play, the clarity and freedom of our minds at play, and so on. There is more juice in playtime than any time, particularly the older we become. Engage your sense of play and read more of Mark Victor Hansen's words.

Think back to your youth. Remember those Saturday mornings watching cartoons while eating your cereal? Were your afternoons spent drinking Kool-Aid and skating?

Those were times when you didn't seem to have a care in the world.

You can still have fun like that. I'm not saying there is a magical potion that will transform you into a child, but you can recapture your child-like nature.

Just because you grow older doesn't mean you have to grow old.

There is power in playing. It is the power of remembering who your authentic self really is, who you were going to be before people told you, you "couldn't" or "shouldn't" or "didn't have the talent to be" the person you were becoming.

When you start playing again you will awaken your inner child and begin to re-discover all the dreams you buried over the years.

Remember: you're either a dream maker or a dream breaker.
