There is never enough time to PLAY!
Part 1
And this is why I've chosen entrepreneurship as my career path.
As a kid, I remember the days were I had ZERO responsibilities, ZERO stress and infinite amount of time. Every day was a play day. I was constantly learning from new experiences, exploring, discovering new abilities, making friends and most of all, having fun. Nothing was going to stop this train from moving.
Until......
My play time was gone. School took up a significant amount of time from the day (7:30AM - 3:40PM) Every time I wanted to go play outside and play with some friends, I was denied. I had to sit my a$$ down and do homework which took up the rest of the day. I had to study for upcoming test which left me with 0 play time. If I did bad on a test, I was punished by my parents(Asian household). If I got bad grades from my classes I was haunted by the permanent letter grades that would decide my future.
I'm sure most of you faced this same dilemma and began to realize a brain rewiring process.
Thriving ---> Coping
Free ---> inhibited
Vitality---> Depression
Action----> Failure
What I am trying to get across is we as humans literally forgot how to play. We forgot who our true selves really are. Most adults don't play. When asked to play, they rather relax because chances are they are tired from work. Could it be they are coping and not thriving? After reading about lot of successful business owners, I see something inside of them that I don't see in regular people, and that is abundance. When business owners are on their break time, they play. They PLAY HARD......
(If you can make entrepreneurship fun, and you love what your doing, you've already succeeded in step one)
