  • Our modern world assumes there has to be a rigid separation between work and play. But the conventional path of finding a job and climbing the ladder of advancement is something that no longer works for many people. A growing number of people are asking: how can I build a life I don’t feel the need to escape from?
    It’s possible to do work that genuinely feels like play, and when you pursue this path it unlocks all kinds of incredible opportunities and puts you on the path to mastery. In this video I’ll share some ideas and psychological strategies on how you can do this, and we’ll look at the remarkable story of Yoky Matsuoka.

    I'd love to know your own experiences with how you've approached your own life with play in the comments. What has been really effective and powerful for you?

      I don't know if I have approached things through play but it is actually something I am trying to implement now. But the only reason I chase my dreams is because of my parents, in particular my father. Born in an African village in the 1940s he chose to learn French instead of English like his classmates and went to university in France to study journalism. Not business to make more money. Journalism. He then found his way to writing articles and translating for a bilingual magazine...one day he wrote an article about African brain drain, someone important read that article. That man contacted him and gave him a job. Following his heart led him to getting a job in one of the best European institutions. A job that now people have to do multiple degrees and have years of experience to get. Since he saw how his life turned out he always encouraged us to follow our dreams. That's the only way we persist during the failures.

      Throughout my life work and play have interconnected I started as a participant moved into coaching onto ownership into hosting my own television show into game day televised play by play and color analysis the circle of play . Can be very rewarding if one simply allows themselves to simply play. These examples lead to building a company around you guessed it play. I speak all over the world and I see it as nothing more than play I don't live to work...

    When I was a child I was constantly criticized and told I was stupid. Although naturally curious and playful, I grew to fear failure. This really handicapped me. In my mid-twenties I started to stretch and break out of the identity I was taught. I’m a retired engineer now and my life has been full of learning and growth. I’m very fortunate and grateful.

The breadcrumbs of joy that you leave behind will always be there when your soul needs nourishment. I believe every moment has a positive perception, and I trust that always choosing the positive option will result in the most positive outcome , even if it’s not immediately clear how.
      Every day , every moment , and all the people we come across , are opportunities for unique dynamics. Embrace it all !

    I dont know if this will help anyone but I had the oppertunity to build a house on a truck with zero previous experience which was by far the biggest project ever to me, it was duanting and freaked me out so what I did was make a deal with myself that if I took on the project that any time I felt overwhelmed or stuck that I could stop whatever I was doing and go do something else for as long as I wanted until I felt like trying again. This one thing took all the pressure and anxiety out of it and allowed me to think about problems at a speed I could handle, it utterly transformed my idea of what I was capable of if I can operate under no pressure. I simply had no idea how good I was at visualizing problems and solutions because I also didn't know how my brain gets completely shut down when experienceing anxiety.

      This is an amazing piece of advice, Jedics. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it! Similarly, a mentor of mine recommended taking a break when you're stuck on a problem to have a walk, or meet a friend, or do something mindless for a bit. Your unconscious mind is still working on the problem in the background, and it often leads to sudden insights or realizations that never would've happened without the break. Your story is awesome and inspiring, I appreciate you my friend

    This is a masterpiece that encapsulates the capability of people to live free. I was born a boy in a hole and learned many of these lessons climbing out and it feels like i have lived at least 4 lives, and i am at the beginning of my 5th and most ambitious. It's daunting, scary every time. But you just have to believe in yourself, steady the ship, learn from your mistakes, and accept the outcome as your own. And always get up and try again, even if its something different. Own it, the good and the bad or you just won't grow to your potential. I remain hopeful i will get there and will try to enjoy the journey.

My Dad was always adding on to our tiny house. No end to gravel piles, pieces of wood, etc that we could play in or create art with. And - if we made a Lincoln Log village it was aloud to stay on the coffee table for a week! No wonder I stayed under my desk in Kindergarten and just wanted to go home.

    I use to go to therapy. I stopped because I never got anything out of it. They kept asking questions I didn't know the answer to. You are entering my subconscious and answering those questions for me. This is amazing. It is opening up windows to the past that I had closed long ago. Little by little memories are coming back to who I used to be, my true self and not who I was told to be. Now how am I going to make this work now that I'm much older?

    I'm always delighted to see one of your videos.
    Truth be told, I think I'm someone with a fixed mindset. I'm trying to change that but it's hard.
    I grew up in a quite abusive environment in which any kind of failure was grounds for harsh punishment, or a justification for ongoing abuse.
    Then, as an adult, I went into the workforce where in multiple jobs, one small mistake is enough to get you fired.
    I know that's all too much information, but my point is that I find it difficult to switch to a growth mindset when my overwhelming experience has been that if you're not good at something right away, then the consequences of any failure, no matter how small, will always be awful.

    • @ModernIntuitionist
      @ModernIntuitionist  2 місяці тому +8

      It's not too much information. It's the perfect amount! Thank you for sharing your difficult early experiences, it's not easy to share, and I believe when we do, it helps everyone reading to feel less alone. Dr. Carol Dweck's book "Mindset" is really great and offers practical tips for how to develop more of a growth mindset. It's not something that happens overnight, but the benefits are huge. Being okay with failure is, I think, a modern-day superpower. Big love to you and yours my friend!

    Another great video as always. Many thanks, Elson. Funny how life goes, I used to play guitar but I wrecked my ears a few years ago. I was starting to get tired of music anyway after doing it for so many years, but the ear trauma let me move on. By chance I took a trip to Mexico, and the first day there I started learning Spanish and I found that I really enjoyed it. After a little over 4 years of learning I can hold a decent conversation and have met lots of new people! (And the ears have recovered somewhat...)

    I was frustrated, because I seemed like I'm a loser.
    But now, I realized, I'm living a dream. It's no perfect. I don't have one million. But I'm like that guy at the beginning the video.

Currently at an intersection in my life where I’m trying to decide what to do and starting my own business and I’ve always had a lot of insecurity around whether I’m picking the right thing and whether I enjoy it and it will make money. I will say the only thing missing from this is capitalism, and how it stop us from pursuing what we really want. It keeps us chained it to a desk, like the movie office space, and makes us do what we otherwise wouldn’t want to do. Great video, subbed!

    This is all spot on. I haven't achieved anything on a magnitude comparable to the examples here, but my own life reiterates all these points. I've always been an intensely curious person, ever since I was a kid. This has led me on an academic journey that has changed courses more than once as I follow my curiosity. I recently finished my PhD in biophysics, but my formal education is only about half of my education. I've embraced informal education in the form of books and podcasts etc. I've always viewed my academic journey as more of a spiritual journey than an intellectual one. Since day 1 of college to the day I completed my PhD, I was driven by a desire to understand myself and the world around me. The formal successes along the way were just a small bonus to the real value I was gaining every day. I would have never even completed my bachelors if I were motivated by a desire for success, or status, or money. That's too boring for me and I would not have been able to make the painful grind.
