You can often hear me say, "do what you do because that's what you do." This came up recently as one of the students in the class I was giving my talk to asked, "how many followers do you have on TikTok?"
I said, "I don't know and I don't care." They laughed and we talked about the importance of understanding why we do what we do. I record short, inspirational messages on TikTok because that is what I enjoy doing. If it can help one person (including myself) that's good enough for me to invest my time into it.
Since "Ignore the Score" is one of the cheat codes to life I give the students, this was a great way to share with them what that means in their world. Number of followers is a scoreboard they need to ignore when they are doing something they enjoy doing - especially something creative like art.
