Is this all there is?
As I mentioned in my last blog, I've been reading the brilliant book 'Play' by Stuart Brown which I've discovered should come with a health warning.
It can put you into the kind of deep, contemplative mood where you start to ask the really big questions in life – especially if you are a person of a certain age.
You may have a challenging job, a big mortgage to pay, a family to provide for or maybe run your own business with employees to consider. At times like this, if you're not careful, you can feel crushed by the weight of responsibility from it all.
As Brown puts it, you may "suffer the same crises of the soul that comes from pouring every moment of your time and every ounce of your being into others' expectations".
You start asking questions... What happened? Where did the 'old me' go? Is this all there is?
The good news is there is a simple antidote to these conundrums. Play.
