Our modern world assumes there has to be a rigid separation between work and play. But the conventional path of finding a job and climbing the ladder of advancement is something that no longer works for many people. A growing number of people are asking: how can I build a life I don’t feel the need to escape from?
It’s possible to do work that genuinely feels like play, and when you pursue this path it unlocks all kinds of incredible opportunities and puts you on the path to mastery. In this video I’ll share some ideas and psychological strategies on how you can do this, and we’ll look at the remarkable story of Yoky Matsuoka.

I'd love to know your own experiences with how you've approached your own life with play in the comments. What has been really effective and powerful for you? PS. Please beware of scammers in the comment section impersonating me. I will never ask you to contact me through "telegram" or ask for any random payments of any kind. My comments will only ever appear with a checkmark at the end of the name "Modern Intuitionist." If you see any such scams kindly press the report button.

I don't know if I have approached things through play but it is actually something I am trying to implement now. But the only reason I chase my dreams is because of my parents, in particular my father. Born in an African village in the 1940s he chose to learn French instead of English like his classmates and went to university in France to study journalism. Not business to make more money. Journalism. He then found his way to writing articles and translating for a bilingual magazine...one day he wrote an article about African brain drain, someone important read that article. That man contacted him and gave him a job. Following his heart led him to getting a job in one of the best European institutions. A job that now people have to do multiple degrees and have years of experience to get. Since he saw how his life turned out he always encouraged us to follow our dreams. That's the only way we persist during the failures.

Throughout my life work and play have interconnected I started as a participant moved into coaching onto ownership into hosting my own television show into game day televised play by play and color analysis the circle of play . Can be very rewarding if one simply allows themselves to simply play. These examples lead to building a company around you guessed it play. I speak all over the world and I see it as nothing more than play I don't live to work...

@jedics1 Месяц назад

I dont know if this will help anyone but I had the oppertunity to build a house on a truck with zero previous experience which was by far the biggest project ever to me, it was duanting and freaked me out so what I did was make a deal with myself that if I took on the project that any time I felt overwhelmed or stuck that I could stop whatever I was doing and go do something else for as long as I wanted until I felt like trying again. This one thing took all the pressure and anxiety out of it and allowed me to think about problems at a speed I could handle, it utterly transformed my idea of what I was capable of if I can operate under no pressure. I simply had no idea how good I was at visualizing problems and solutions because I also didn't know how my brain gets completely shut down when experienceing anxiety.

This is an amazing piece of advice, Jedics. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it! Similarly, a mentor of mine recommended taking a break when you're stuck on a problem to have a walk, or meet a friend, or do something mindless for a bit. Your unconscious mind is still working on the problem in the background, and it often leads to sudden insights or realizations that never would've happened without the break. Your story is awesome and inspiring, I appreciate you my friend

This is a masterpiece that encapsulates the capability of people to live free. I was born a boy in a hole and learned many of these lessons climbing out and it feels like i have lived at least 4 lives, and i am at the beginning of my 5th and most ambitious. It's daunting, scary every time. But you just have to believe in yourself, steady the ship, learn from your mistakes, and accept the outcome as your own. And always get up and try again, even if its something different. Own it, the good and the bad or you just won't grow to your potential. I remain hopeful i will get there and will try to enjoy the journey.

This is all spot on. I haven't achieved anything on a magnitude comparable to the examples here, but my own life reiterates all these points. I've always been an intensely curious person, ever since I was a kid. This has led me on an academic journey that has changed courses more than once as I follow my curiosity. I recently finished my PhD in biophysics, but my formal education is only about half of my education. I've embraced informal education in the form of books and podcasts etc. I've always viewed my academic journey as more of a spiritual journey than an intellectual one. Since day 1 of college to the day I completed my PhD, I was driven by a desire to understand myself and the world around me. The formal successes along the way were just a small bonus to the real value I was gaining every day. I would have never even completed my bachelors if I were motivated by a desire for success, or status, or money. That's too boring for me and I would not have been able to make the painful grind.

@rad4924 Месяц назад

I'm always delighted to see one of your videos. Truth be told, I think I'm someone with a fixed mindset. I'm trying to change that but it's hard. I grew up in a quite abusive environment in which any kind of failure was grounds for harsh punishment, or a justification for ongoing abuse. Then, as an adult, I went into the workforce where in multiple jobs, one small mistake is enough to get you fired. I know that's all too much information, but my point is that I find it difficult to switch to a growth mindset when my overwhelming experience has been that if you're not good at something right away, then the consequences of any failure, no matter how small, will always be awful.

@ModernIntuitionist Месяц назад

It's not too much information. It's the perfect amount! Thank you for sharing your difficult early experiences, it's not easy to share, and I believe when we do, it helps everyone reading to feel less alone. Dr. Carol Dweck's book "Mindset" is really great and offers practical tips for how to develop more of a growth mindset. It's not something that happens overnight, but the benefits are huge. Being okay with failure is, I think, a modern-day superpower. Big love to you and yours my friend!

I was starting to get tired of music anyway after doing it for so many years, but the ear trauma let me move on. By chance I took a trip to Mexico, and the first day there I started learning Spanish and I found that I really enjoyed it. After a little over 4 years of learning I can hold a decent conversation and have met lots of new people! (And the ears have recovered somewhat...)

@ZhakyDK Месяц назад

I've been through this loop (dream, attempt, give up) many times now. I usually succumb to fear of being perceived as a failure, if I continue and then fail, despite knowing and believing that life is a game. I wrote my master thesis on gamification, and got quite far with it. I thought it was just going to be about gamification, but I found links to addiction, flow theory and a lot of spiritual texts, linking flow, play and awareness together. I believe it is possible to activate flow, despite what many others believe, but it won't happen by trying to do it or thinking about how to do it, it'll come when we give up - which is why it seems impossible. Not giving up in general, but letting go of trying and just doing. Some day I'm sure I'll get beyond the fear.. maybe just to find it again further down the road.. rinse and repeat. As long as I tried, I can die without regrets.

I am deeply appreciate of your wisdom , your every single word......That human beings are limitless in our capacity for development and there's no telling what we can do or how the world might be transformed if we follow our deepest inclinations. When I look at these figure what comes through most clearly to me is how much fun they're having as they're doing their life's work; how they approach if all with a sense of play. Ask yourself: what is it that feels like to you but look like work to other people? The things that feel like play to you are a huge clue to what you could attain mastering at, and if there's many different things that excite you how can you combine them in your own unique way? Because no one else has precisely the same interests and curiosities that you do...... All of your words are amazing for the one who awaits and studies the nature and function by discovering eyes.

Recently I rewatched ‘The Martian’. The common thread throughout the film was ‘What is the first problem? Work that problem. Don’t worry about the next one. One thing at a time.’ When you were talking about a life falling into a hole, I could relate. I have been completely overwhelmed about how to reconcile my life into something I could enjoy. I have discovered that I am part flexible and part rigid. Probably why I fell in my hole and been stuck here for quite a while. Play was never really a part of my childhood, so obviously those things I enjoyed the process I did well at. I know I am intelligent but there are parts of my life where I just gave up before I started. Working one problem at a time. Being open to learning new things and being okay with failure is obviously first on the list. Thank you.❤ The master has failed more times than the student.❤

I love your videos! They're incredibly informative and engaging. Thank you for giving me hope and take action rewriting my story. Recently, I came across the trend of finding your doppelgänger in a museum. Could you make a video explaining this phenomenon?

@ShioriWhitefeather 29 дней назад

I've been following this kind of thought for a while, and I needed a resource like you to help distill it. Thank you. I'm awaiting the next one, friend. 🖖🏾

Just realized something after I watched this video... (great video by the way...) As kids, we don't really know what we want, but we know what we are curious about... we then turn that into a hobby, and follow that to, well, wherever it takes us... So the question becomes, 'what are you really, deeply curious about, and if it is multiple things, can you find a way to link them all...' I get that this isn't always the case, but I strongly suspect it is in the vast majority of cases... Just my opinion... P.S. can't wait for the next video ;-)

@ModernIntuitionist Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your insight, Julian. One of my professors once told me that it's not really possible to teach everything in a course; knowledge is always changing and being revised. The only thing you can hope to do is inspire a spark of curiosity, and only then will they be moved to begin the journey of learning on their own. That always stayed with me and it's something I always appreciated most from my favourite mentors and teachers: you could tell they loved their subject matter and were passionate about it. May you find a way to link all your deepest curiosities and follow your bliss, my friend

@fatherburning358 Месяц назад

@coolbreeze5683 Месяц назад

Thanks for another beautiful video, Elson 😊 Ultimately, I think if we see ourselves as successful then we are successful. There's the idea that we have to make a grand impact on the world or people should know our name in order to reach that status but I find that not to be true. Finding joy and bliss within yourself is a life of success. There are people with few possessions and no desire to add to our material world who are the most joyful people on Earth and that makes them the most successful amongst us. They have found the key of pushing aside ego to access their inner spring of eternal joy 🥎

@ModernIntuitionist Месяц назад

Thanks so much, Sukhwinder! Here's a hint: I am neither seen nor touched, yet I shift the paths of lives with my presence. When absent, despair can take hold. But when abundant, doors seem to open by themselves. I am sought by many, but wielded by few. What am I?

Yes. Anytime I'm learning something new, if it's not approached from a place of wonder and curiosity, I don't learn as quickly, intuitively or cohesively. Any aversion to what you're learning is like driving through muddy terrain.
