Created To Create
At the beginning of 2014, I made a commitment to blog three times a week about the necessity of creativity in all aspects of life. As the year rolled on, not only did these posts inform my life, but my life (which included the publishing of my first book, making my Broadway debut, and starting my own company just shy of the age of 23) began to inform each post. What you'll find enclosed in these pages are the thoughts, lessons, and questions I've struggled with in my first year as a professional creative.
Have you ever wanted to make an impact on the world doing what you love? I believe that right now is a unique time in history when that dream has never been more possible. Not only is creativity necessary in order to make that impact, but it is actually at the heart of what it means to be human. Whether you're a recent college grad, a boardroom CEO, or a stay at home mom, open up and discover how you were created to create.

Creativity. It’s a word that at times is hard to grasp its full meaning. Many of us struggle to find inspiration and motivation to pursue the ideas we have that are unique. We worry that we don’t have the right resources, enough time, enough courage, and the list could go on. We allow that to keep us from sharing what’s on our hearts. In an age when we have more opportunities than ever before to share our creativity, too many of us are scared or ashamed to do so. This makes us question our ability to do something that is at the core of who God created us to be and makes it more difficult for us to live out our intended purpose. It makes us ask the question: how are we supposed to pursue creativity in our world today?
In Jon Jorgenson’s e-book, Created to Create, he walks through a collection of blog posts written over the course of 2014 that are meant to help creatives walks through what it means to be creative in our world today. Over the course of that year he made a commitment to his fans that he would blog three days a week, and he kept faithful to that commitment, all while being an actor on Broadway. Being an artist and creative mind, he explores the thoughts about the call to create, the craft of creativity, the audience of our creative projects, and the One that gives us our creative abilities. It not divided into traditional chapters since it was derived from his blog posts, but it is still a powerful tool for those that want inspiration, guidance, or courage in pursuing the creative process. Jon speaks with a wisdom beyond his years as he gives a fresh perspective on a topic that is sometimes difficult to address. He speaks from his heart, and his passion for this subject is evident in every part of this book. There is so much to take in and challenge you in your creative pursuits. As a follower of Jon's work online, I think this book brings many of his messages together in a more cohesive way. I have been very inspired by what I have read and I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to pursue creativity.
