Title: Creative Calling Pdf Establish a Daily Practice, Infuse Your World with Meaning, and Succeed in Work
Life isn't about "finding" fulfillment and success - it's about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer.
Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition.
The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone: beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life.
Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis's memorable "IDEA" system:
- Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create - or become - in this world.
- Design a daily practice that supports that dream - and a life of expression and transformation.
- Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real.
- Amplify your impact through a supportive community you'll learn to grow and nurture.
Inspiring and Actionable There are so many great bite-sized gems in this book along with actionable takeaways. This is great to keep in your ears and revisit again and again.What I loved most was how Chase, again and again, brought clarity to creativity: what it is, why it matters, and how to find.Often we make things so muddled and complicated and masters are those that can communicate clearly and concisely. Chase does that and more in this book. Whether you are going to apply this to art or leadership, this is must-have in your collection.Creative Truth Bomb! I can't recommend Creative Calling highly enough. The book came at a perfect time for me, as I'm returning to my mixed media work after a long, unexpected hiatus due to illness. Chase speaks a soulful truth that touches a deep knowing inside. We are ALL creative. Expressing creativity is not a luxury, it's both healing and VITAL.I love the message of taking small, imperfect steps daily. Each small step will reveal the next step, and the path is created. Using your own inner compass, no map is necessary (or even useful for that matter)! Exactly what you end up creating will be something that you could not have planned. You don't fake it until you make it. You get your of your comfort zone and MAKE it until you make it. Daily creating generates positivity and a feeling of aliveness. I happened to be on day 45 of 100 days of creating when I listened to the audiobook. It was synchronistic as the ideas in the book mirrored some of what I was experiencing with my creating. The book gave me the inspiration to keep going and reach beyond my normal limits. For example, I ended up doing a 20 ft chalk art portrait on Michigan Avenue in Chicago... something I wouldn't have pushed myself to do otherwise. Now I'm working on a tiny 4-inch piece. Can't wait to see what's next. The audiobook was so inspiring that I also ordered the hard copy. Attending the live online class that went with it was the icing on the creative cake! Thank you, Chase! You don't know how much I appreciate this wonderful gift coming at the perfect time. This book does belong in schools and I'm sure you will make it happen!Now onward... daily art-making is calling...Dear undercover creative: this one's for you In Creative Calling, Chase puts forth the thesis that creativity as a practice is as important to our health and well-being as nutrition or exercise. Whether you a professional, a hobbyist, or an undercover creative - whether you even consider yourself creative at all - this book will broaden your perspective on how powerful creativity can be."Only by embracing your innate creativity will you begin to see the life you are truly capable of creating for yourself"If you're not familiar with Chase, his work as a renowned photographer, or as the head of CreativeLive, it would be a mistake to chalk this book up to yet-another-book-telling-me-what-to-do-with-my-life, but it is not a "what to do" book, but instead a "how to". As in, how to scratch your creative itch, or how to pay attention to that quiet voice in your gut.What it is, is Chase's own story following his path as an artist, while deconstructing lessons gleaned from his own process.Now, it would be easy to write this review breaking down Chase's carefully crafted and imminently practical frameworks: IDEA or DEAR, but I don't believe it captures the essence of this book, so I'll leave that for you to read yourself. To me, the true value lies in Chases' raw storytelling, and how he's able to weave a tight narrative into an entertaining read.In short, this book is a signpost for anyone who's looking to rediscover the feeling of magic that goes along with creating something out of nothing. Chase is an excellent guide and is a hell of a storyteller.Creative Calling is as timely as it is timeless. I read it in three sittings and cannot recommenced it any higher.
