Ash's main takeaway is solid — Immerse yourself in hobbies or creative pursuits without being overly concerned about external validation or the potential for monetary gain.
Other takeaways that stuck with me were:
— Finding enjoyment in the process of learning and improving your own skills is crucial.
— Setting personal goals can help fuel growth.
— Sharing your work with others is a way to receive feedback and learn from other perspectives, but don't let pursuit, perfection or seeking monetisation overshadow the joy of the activity itself.
— Intrinsic rewards of your hobby or pursuit trump validation or financial gain.
In the end, you need to find something you enjoy doing, and do it because you ENJOY it.
