“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.”
~Arnold J. Toynbee
Hey there daring dreamer,
I’ve got a few questions for you…
Where is your attention right now?
Do you notice your breath?
Are you aware of how your body feels?
What thoughts you are thinking?
Your life is now…are you making the most of it?
Are you giving yourself what you want?
And what you need to feel happy?
Remember that prioritizing your joy + well~being is not a selfish act.
In fact, the better you feel, the more kindness + love + compassion you have to share with everyone you meet.
When you feel good, you create ripples of kindness + love that spread far beyond what you can even imagine.
Your love + joy changes the world.
And more play will help you feel that love + joy within you.
Today, I want to share with you two inspiring resources to get you feeling good.
These invite you to start thinking better thoughts + choosing more play in your life.
First, check out this wise quote from Tony Robbins.
Robbins reminds us that NOW is the time to reclaim our power to choose…asking us the most important question: “What are you going to do, right now?”
Next, check out this absolutely brilliant 16 minute TEDx talk by psychologist Peter Gray about the power of PLAY in our children’s lives.
I invite you to consider not only how more play cultivates happiness for children, but also how more play in YOUR life could help you feel more happy + fulfilled.
Now I’m off to go get ready for four days of play + fun with my girls as we head to our annual homeschool conference here in California.
Yes, I’m living in alignment with the tools I teach. I believe so much in the power of play that I unschool our two daughters + choose play in our lives as the highest priority for their education.
I absolutely believe that play is powerful + educational + essential.
And I encourage you to choose more PLAY in your life today!
I’d loooove to hear your thoughts on this radical + revolutionary topic: more play in our lives.
Share your thoughts + insights in the comments below. How do you fill your life with play + fun?
We are all here to teach each other…thank YOU for being part of this Happiness Revolution.
And for BEing the change.

you nailed it. Thanks!!! for the reminder, I was teetering on what would feed my spirit the most today, and you’ve pushed me over the edge. It’s a play day with my pup and my wife. You continue to spread smiles without knowing it. It’s amazing how your ripples spread, when my wife smiles, and my pup wags her tail- I hope you pick up on the ripple! thanks again.
