Tri-fecta

Love Work and Play form the base layer of the lives we live, Your destiny is inextricably linked to the balanced combination of all three.

Lets examine each one in respect of the others...

Love - When you love something you'll automatically find yourself spending a disproportionately large amount of time doing it. Now at first this would be considered as playing. However after a short while you realise that there are imperfections in your love, this figures in all sorts of formats, people objects music sport career, you name it. With this revelation you make the concerted effort to work hard and eliminate the flaws (Perfection)

Work - you start a job or activity in which you HAVE to work. You may not find the work particularly fun to begin with but you decide to excel. Before long you begin to obsess about what you're doing, the hours get longer and longer and you find yourself carrying this object job person wherever you go(thats if you dont get bored and quit), some might even call this love. Because attention breeds affection the more time you put in the less laborious the task appears, sooner rather than later you begin to play with the object.

Play - when you were a child the first and arguably only instinct you had was to play. Play with toys objects food sticks stones, whatever you could get your hands on basically. As you play with these objects however you learn about them, their characteristics and nature. Hard, soft big small hot cold etc. This tells me that deep within us our curiosity to learn is best fulfilled in a playful format. Once again playing with something elicits spending time, that time brings back the attention to affection equation leading to love and the story continues...

Now let us examine a real life example

Michael Jordan (naturally) is considered by most to be the greatest basketball player ever, let us examine some of the things he considered valuable

"Even when I'm old, grey and can not play I will still love the game"

"I've always believed that if you put in the work the results will come, I don't do things half-heatedly b'coz I know if I do, I can expect half-hearted results!"

"Just play, have fun and enjoy the game. Let your heart educate your mind"
