EP108: The Inherent Playfulness of Existence

34:56 Video (228 MB) HD Video (972 MB) Audio (32 MB)

We explore the inherent playfulness of existence—a perspective that invites us to see life, and ourselves, with fresh eyes. Often, we get caught in cycles of stress, seriousness, and striving to fix things, believing that our worth is tied to how much we accomplish or how well we overcome life’s challenges.

But what if the deeper truth is that you are already whole and complete? What if the stories you tell about your past, the worries about your future, and the emotional weight of the present are not rooted in reality but in imagination?

Together, we’ll look at:

  • How life is an adventure filled with moments of fear, joy, and uncertainty—and why that’s what makes it beautiful.

  • Why your past is more like a movie you’ve been telling yourself, and how to let go of its grip.

  • The importance of “returning”—taking a moment to drop everything and honor what’s deeply true about who you are.

  • How giving tragedy enough time often reveals its playful, even humorous, nature.

This is a conversation about releasing the weight of unnecessary stories, seeing the lightness of life, and embracing the playful quality that permeates existence. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about a different way to see yourself and your life, this talk offers a gentle invitation to come back to the present moment and rediscover what’s real.

Take a moment. Breathe. And join me in exploring the playful nature of what it means to be alive.
