GOD CREATED MAN
MAN CREATED GOD
I found this recently scribble on a sliver of paper that fell out of a notebook I had in a box from high-school nearly fifty years ago. . .
and it brought me to a question
that I believe
Y O U
are the Answer:
WHO IS THE GREATEST CREATOR
Let’s ask a different question that’ll lead us all to the Answer:
How often do you see yourself described in this list?
- You believe you can make someone else’s life better. And are willing to invest your own time, effort, resources, and heart to do so.
- You share the lessons you’ve learned on your journey to make other people’s journey easier.
- You love to turn nothing into something.
- You recognize that a great way to understand who you are and what you believe is to try to express it to others.
- You believe there’s a better way. Always.
- Curiosity is one of your core values.
- You’d rather have no map to follow than be forced to use step-by-step instructions.
- You routinely question authority, or the status quo, or conventional wisdom, or the way it’s “always” been done.
- You define “success” for yourself and aren’t bound by the expectations of others.
- You understand that the cost of doing something you don’t believe in will always be more than the reward.
- You’re brave enough to try.
- You put dreams ahead of your fears.
- You’re willing to take a leap and figure it out on the way down.
WHO IS THE GREATEST CREATOR

The same day
GOD CREATED MAN
MAN CREATED GOD
fluttered out of my notebook
that I not-so-accidentally
took from the overly dusty box
I not-so-accidentally
came across a tweet from Josh Spector
who I kind of accidentally follow
but don’t really know
Josh Spector intended his original list to describe creative professionals. I’ve broadened and adapted it to include anyone who aspires to live an imaginative, creative life.
I suspect that includes you!
Am I right?
(My thanks to Josh Spector.)
My thanks to the greatest Creator
Y O U
