Agree, as we grow older we often forget to play. Its the playing that reconnects us to who we really are, removing us from the pressures of work and noisiness of life. I'd like to think that its the freedom of play that gives us the space to find our purpose, and in doing so feeds our passion.
A very good question - does our passion drive our purpose, or does our purpose drive our passion. Or, are they different phases of the same thing - passion being an early and more undefined and unrefined version of what eventually comes - purpose. Like in a marriage - mad passion in the beginning, followed by mature single-minded purpose that drives you together in the same direction.
I seem to recall this debate with you once before Richard - might have to dive back into the archives to uncover what you wrote for the newsletter 8 days away!

"freedom of play that gives us the space to find our purpose, and in doing so feeds our passion."
... now there are some words I might steal 😄, or as someone told me last week :
"Do not consider it stealing, consider it as referenced leverage."
thankyou Hugh.
