Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.
~ Upanishads
Words chanted, spoken and written are powerful incantations. They have the ability to heal as well as inflame, to unite as well as separate, to bring love as well as engender hatred.
~ Mark Lamm
The words “I am…” are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you’re claiming has a way or reaching back and claiming you.
~ A. L. Kitselman
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
~ Erich Fromm
Thoughts are creative whether they be beautiful or ugly, bold or timid, functional or dysfunctional.
~ Mark Lamm
The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.
~ L. P. Jacks
Playology is about waking up our senses, infusing our organs of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting – and the higher cognitive senses as well, with the spirit of play. Play ignites creativity and spontaneity. Playing together leads to trust and cooperation.
