My philosophy of “Play Every Day” is rooted in the idea that “the way you live your days is the way you live your life.” I discovered this idea a few years ago and it has totally transformed the way I think about two concepts: life’s goals and time.

​

When it comes to goals, I’ve always been more of go with the flow kind of person. I’ve never had a grand masterplan for life which has guided my actions. I’ve fully dedicated myself to the opportunities I have had and seized every one of them instead of always thinking of what next. What I’ve realised though, is that if I don’t know where I am going then I’m not sure I’ll ever get there. I also learnt that goals should not be unidimensional and just work oriented. It’s great to have goals for all spheres of your life from work to hobbies to relationships to fitness to anything else that is dear to you. I believe that I must fully immerse, enjoy and be present in every activity that I choose to engage in. That is “play” for me” - the state in which I am in the flow and producing, creating, living…

​

Time is the most precious asset that I have to achieve my goals and I am super mindful and disciplined about every day. Anything I want to achieve - whether that is spending more quality time with my children or writing my next book – has to find an allocated time in the day.

​

So putting these two ideas together, I love the idea of “Play Every Day.” It is a constant reminder to me to do the things that give me joy and satisfaction and to do them with the greatest levels of attention and engagement. And to ensure that I’m chipping away at my goals every day, working towards a vision that I’ve set for myself that I may revisit from time to time.
