Quit being a worker and become a player.
A player is someone who:

  • Puts creativity, fun and fulfillment first
  • Goes where they feel drawn, rather than purely pursuing money
  • Plays with the environment around them and in relationship with others
  • Is in a life-long state of learning and organismic personal growth
  • Knows what interrupts their creativity and plays around it
  • Recognises what is happening inside of them, accepts it, acknowledges it and uses it - long before others are even aware of it in themselves.
  • Plays with capitalism, notices what their market wants and sees making money as part of the game
  • Is ignored or even ridiculed for pursuing their very individual and seemingly whimsical interests - and later emerges with genre-smashing creative works and rule-breaking businesses.
  • Indulges all their interests no matter how disparate they may seem
  • Becomes a thought leader
  • Surfs the big waves that others are drowned by
  • Is most likely to survive or thrive in a global recession and a shift of economic power to the East
  • Changes the game for everyone else
  • Changes the world

Are you ready to stop working and start playing?
