Dream of the kind of world
you wanna live in.
Dream it out loud,
at high volume

17 Apr 2012 Five Factors to make your Life more creative

Space: “You can’t become playful, and therefore creative, if you’re under your usual pressures.”

Time: “It’s not enough to create space; you have to create your space for a specific period of time.”

Time again: “Giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something original,” and learning to tolerate the discomfort of pondering time and indecision.

Confidence: “Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.”

Humor: “The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.”

John Cleese, A lecture on creativity, 1991

This is Mount Ngauruhoe in the Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, most likely known as Mount Doom of Mordor from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And yes, we did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, together with our little 5 year old kiddo Kester, who walked the whole distance of 19.4 km!

07 Mar 2012 The Art of Living

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

L. P. Jacks from “Education Through Recreation”, published in 1932
