When Others Criticize

Is there any good that comes from criticizing someone? I would venture to say, “no.” Criticizing someone puts them on the defensive. Providing feedback however is a great way to offer assistance to someone that needs it.

Why Not Me?

Often times we aren’t selected for something we know we are good at. Instead of asking the question, “why not me” to others. Ask the question, “why not me” internally.

. . . Because That's What You Do

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.

Let’s Be Human

How Are You Doing?

Yesterday, someone I met recently walked up to me and asked, “how are you doing?” It was a genuine question and perfectly timed. How often do you inquire from others how they are doing? If you are like me it’s not often enough and maybe it’s time we both change that
