Yes! I preach all of this often.

In fact, I was lucky enough to change my career path because of side projects. Being stuck in the food service for most of your life is a tough way to live and I didn’t want to be like the rest of my family in this regard. So, I took steps, on the side, to change that. Now I’m in marketing and feel like I’ll never have to go back.

My favorite quote, maybe of all time: “the opposite of play is not work — it’s depression.” — Brian Sutton-Smith

Creation = play

play = life
