Use Play to Unlock Your Full Potential

Use Play to Unlock Your Full Potential

For several years now, every time I get a profound download from the Universe, one word stands out:

PLAY

While meditating, doing breathwork, climbing mountains, and listening to guidance from enlightened souls... I keep encountering that word.

Over time, I have managed to understand why.

It turns out that this word has led me to everything I need to lead my career and life in a truly impactful and fulfilling manner.

The same may be true for you.

PLAY stands for:

Presence: Be fully present in everything you seek and do. Live in The Zone as much as possible.

Lightness: Bring light, love and playful energy. Be someone who lifts others up and magnifies their talents.

Alignment: Connect your actions, values and purpose. Match who you want to be with what you do on a daily basis.

Yearning: Feel intense longing for what you seek. Summoning such a visceral, emotional sense is how you turn thoughts and desires into reality.

If you are willing to move through this world as a machiavellian monster, you may be able to use fear and power to your advantage. But success in this manner requires a level of ruthlessness and evil that most people cannot sustain.

That leaves many of us struggling to succeed while working within systems that often weigh us down.

What do I mean by that?

We worry about money, status, and the craziness of the world. We end up surrounded by people who are afraid of many things, or even everything. This is no way to have a spectacular life, to bring out your best, or to bring out the best in others.

PLAY is my antidote to all this. It's the simplest, most effective way I know to succeed and simultaneously love your life.

I could go on and on about why this works and how to do it, but I'll save much of that for another issue. Today, my intention is to simply introduce this framework to you and to give you and others a chance to ask questions about it. Place questions in the Comments, and I'll respond.

One last thing: PLAY is part of my Aperture program, which runs throughout 2025. If you wish to live this way full time, you can find more details here.

Cheers to fertile imaginations???? and child-like faith?? Life isn’t about perfection and constant happiness. Life is a gift. Be grateful and continue to grow in maturity. The flesh is inherently selfish but God is good, merciful, and just. We develop what we focus on. Do an intensive with yourself. Play, ask questions, walk in love …LOVE endures??

Bruce Kasanoff, I love your APERTURE, which brings light to life. As an optics person, I worry about optimizing the aperture of my life! In a camera, a bigger aperture means less depth of focus, and less aperture size increases the depth of focus. How do you adapt the scientific meaning of a camera aperture and your mentoring with an APERTURE mentoring tool?
