On the one hand you take life too seriously, and on the other, you do not take playful existence seriously enough.

It's not enough to be aware of the domain you're working in, you need to understand it. Noticing things and being curious about how they work is the single most common trait I see in creative people. Once you can break the components down, you can put them back together into something brand new.

Don't worry about your stuff. Worry about making meaning instead.

On the one hand you take life too seriously, and on the other, you do not take playful existence seriously enough.

You expand your consciousness, your ideas, your perceptions. You break away from self-adopted restrictions. You grow as you learn to step aside from limiting conceptions and dogmas.
