The fixed flame of creativity within has no intention of burning out.
The purposeful disregard of it’s presence is a repeated offense.
The question becomes: At what cost?

The spirit of playing games can relieve us of the pressures we experience in day to day life and bring out the playfulness, creativity as well as the spirit of competition in many of us.
Why not bring that same approach to our workplace and private lives when facing challenges and difficult problems we repeatedly can get stumped on? Where’s our childish curiosity then?
Maybe we should lighten up a bit. Maybe we can find the gamesmanship in the usual and ordinary times by having some fun with our “unsolvable” problems and make it a competition.
Life is only as serious as we make it.
After all, remember rule #6 (Don’t take yourself so f#+@ing seriously).
If you’ve ever grown up in a big family or not, you may have developed a deep bond with one or more of your siblings. After all family ties run deep and blood is thicker than water.
I’ve always wanted a little brother to spoil, love and to coddle. Just like my older sister did to me. I wanted to inspire him, to teach him how to do things he couldn’t do before and to make him feel safe. It never happened. I’m the youngest of 5 with 3 older sisters and 1 older brother.
However, I was fortunate enough to form a pretty tight bond with my brother when we attended the same college which was over 1,500 miles from our hometown. He took care of me. He looked out for me and brought me into his fold of friends. We played intermural football together. He got to discover who I was, as I always looked up to him in more ways than one.
I cherish those times when our deep bond was becoming forged and strengthened. It does something deep within you that can never be taken or destroyed. It’s a gift of epic proportions. It’s life-changing.
It’s family.
We seem to be incorporating a larger swath of past experiences into the mix when determining whether something is relevant to where we are in our lives. Another words, that experience you had when you were 10 when you got lost in the zoo and couldn’t find your family for 30+ minutes, probably skewed the way you view the world. Good or bad.
It’s helpful to understand how we view our lives the way we do and where it came from. Because once we know that, we can begin to determine whether these views are helping us to get where we’re going or detrimental.
After all, we must know where we’re located on the map in order to determine which direction we must travel to reach our destination.
Yes. All of it is relevant to who and where you are.
When you’re in the middle of it, sometimes it can be hard to determine exactly how monumental a time in your life can be, let alone the world as a whole.
I feel like the times we’re in right now is: renaissance – a period of new growth or activity.
We’re in a shift no doubt. The way businesses are run, the amount of women in the workforce, the moral, social and ethical responsibilities of big corporations who are now getting called out if their mission statement isn’t taking into account global environmental issues, their carbon footprint, sustainable resources, etc.
We all need to make sure we can recognize this changes among us and to act accordingly.
Otherwise, you could get left behind.
