Here’s my conclusion about work as play:

When you are truly in play, when you are following the unfolding path of what provides you engagement, expression, excitement, and curiosity in the world, then your work is simply a natural expression of who you are and who you are becoming.

Work becomes a way of achieving the fullest expression of yourself. It’s a channel, as David Deida says, for giving your love to the world.

So when people ask “Can I really have what I want in my work?” the answer is of course you can, because everyone can move towards their fullest expression of themselves, everyone can decide to give their love to the world in their work.

The only person blocking you from doing that is you.
