The secret of life is to approach it playfully.
Everything can be approached with a sense of lightness, joy, and ease.
Doesn't matter what you're doing. Working at a cafe. Meeting someone new. Going out to dinner. Taking a work call. Writing a tweet. Going on a crazy travel adventure.
The illusion is that things are meant to be taken seriously.
This morning, I caught myself racing against time.
I had a friend arriving in Thailand.
I wanted to work out, jump in the ocean, and get coffee before he got here.
I was stressed and tense — battling against reality instead of flowing with it.
But everything changed with one mindset shift.
It's what I have tattooed on my arm:
"It's all play."
I decided to see the entire situation as a scene out of a movie to experience — rather than something to control and fight.
Ripping my motorbike through town, jumping in the ocean, and grabbing a cappuccino became an electric experience to enjoy rather than something to rush through.
My friend arrived, and the rest of the day flowed magically because my vibrational state shifted from tension to flow.
So whenever you're rushing, tense, or way too serious — a red flag should go up in your mind.
Life is not meant to be taken so seriously.
Reality is not meant to be controlled and fought against.
This is meant to be a game, a movie, an exploration in consciousness, and a journey your soul chose to experience through the character of you.
Sink into that state of awareness and watch your life play out more magically than you could have ever controlled from a tense, rigid mind.
It's all play.
