We live in a world that is voracious in consuming our internal resources for things that don’t matter. Defy it.
What the culture values (status, money, attractiveness, luxury brands, zip codes) snares us on a hamster wheel, pouring all of our time, energy, and talent into things that don’t deliver what they promise. This appalling drain of our internal resources makes us miss what is most essential—our hearts. The simple act of carrying a notebook creates tangible space to journal the part of us that loves, dreams, and connects.
We each have a bright and beautiful Imago Dei, which is breathtaking when we notice it. Seek it.
We are created in the image of God. There is something in each human that is holy and of infinite value (which makes the culture’s attempts at ranking and measuring us pure BS). Pausing to notice and capture what's beautiful and transcendent in us, creates gratitude and helps us put our attention on what matters.
When we ignore our creative spark, it flatlines. Rescue it.
Humans are by nature creative. We create relationships, environments, meals, ideas, conversation, art, music, written words… But this creative spark withers when not cultivated and cared for. A notebook creates space to capture thoughts, sketch, map out ideas, doodle, make notes, play with words, dream, and listen to our hearts. We have to nurture our inventive selves. (And do it now before our radiant creative spark requires a crash cart.)
Carry a notebook is an emerging revolution that you can be part of to defy the culture, seek your Imago Dei, and rescue your creativity. Be part of it.
