PLAYING PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS

Do you play enough? Most of us are much more inclined to ask or be asked if we work enough. The longer I live the more I'm convinced most of us need to play more. This blog could go in many directions, but I'm going to specifically address the need to play more with your family. Sarah and I have 6 children and we have learned to play a lot of games over the past 20 years. Some of the games are official board games like Monopoly or Sorry, and some of the games are well known outside games like kickball or tag. Some of the games are games that never existed before we played them - at least we had never heard of them before. Some of the games are played inside and some are played outside. Some of the games we sometimes play inside are really supposed to be played outside - like baseball and football.

What good could possibly come from playing games? There are many positives; like exercise of the mind and body. But there are other positives as well such as learning a lot about each other - like who cheats and who doesn't, who is a good winner and who is a good loser. You get to laugh together, cry together, and learn new things together. The best part of playing games is just being together. When you begin to get your life in order and have your job in line with your vocation you will have more time to enjoy your family and play more games. I want to help you spend more time playing - especially with your family.

Enjoy success in life everyday!
