One of the reasons I love living in Nashville is that it\u2019s a city full of creatives: writers, singers, entrepreneurs; all people who are determined to make something of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of those creatives, here are five reasons I do what I do.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Creating captures time. <\/strong> By that I mean the hour or two or three it takes me to write something is captured in the content that I\u2019ve created.\u00a0 I\u2019ve literally written, with my books and my talks, thousands and thousands of pages of content; creative ideas.\u00a0 All of that time is captured, is mine anytime I want it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Creating knows no distance.<\/strong> A book, a song, an idea, a blog, a tweet, all go anywhere we want them to.\u00a0 With the death of distance, it is a wireless, wall-less world where anyone, anywhere, anytime can access your creative input. Yea God!<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Creativity demands critical thinking<\/strong> which, bottom line, means that I have to stop and focus on something to see it through.\u00a0 Think about the idea.\u00a0 Is it worthy to be developed?\u00a0\u00a0 Is it worthy to be communicated?<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Creating creates endless possibilities. <\/strong> The deeper you get into the creative process, the more you see of what\u2019s possible.\u00a0 One creative idea links to another.\u00a0 These creative ideas use synergy to create bigger, better, bolder ideas; many of which can change the world.\u00a0 Without creativity, we\u2019d just simply be sifting through the clutter.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Creativity at its best, changes the world. <\/strong> We must believe, or at least recover the belief, that what we do matters; that we can indeed change the world through the endless creative possibilities that are presented to us each day.\u00a0 As a creative, I simply won\u2019t tolerate a world of inequity, pain, and injustice.\u00a0 I must heal a hurt, lift a load, right a wrong, or at least support a dream.\u00a0 So should you.\u00a0 You\u2019re creative.\u00a0 How do I know that?\u00a0 Because you were created by the most creative person in the Universe – God.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Every day I get up seeking to know God, love God, and live the life for which I was created.\u00a0 You too?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
