You Were Built to Create Cool S**t

<p>This is not just a book; it's an awakening call for YOU, and every other human's natural abilities, to be let out of their cages. Creation, curiosity, exploration, deprivation, information (overload): defeat the beast that is you-stopping-you from realizing just how much you have to offer this world by using your creative abilities.</p><p>As you navigate through this book's pages, you'll:</p><ul><li><strong>Rediscover</strong> the lost arts of wonder, curiosity, and imagination that fueled your childhood dreams.</li><li><strong>Challenge</strong> the status quo of passive consumption and ignite the spark of active creation.</li><li><strong>Learn</strong> from the luminaries of the past and present who've harnessed their innate abilities to craft the world as we know it.</li><li><strong>Find</strong> your unique pathway to contribution, be it through art, business, relationships, or other forms of personal expression.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Note from the author:</em><strong> </strong>To me, this book serves as the friend I wish I always had, and the words I wish were told to me long ago. Because I can't travel back in time (yet) I have written this book to suffice. In order to help many others who recognize that they have something only they can offer the world, and that they were quite literally born and <em>built </em>to create cool sh*t.</p><p>In this book, my aim is to be your friend. I'm not trying to have you follow me around and take the same steps as I did. I want you to try what compels you, and to create things that make you lose track of time. I will be here in the pages encouraging you to do so throughout the entire book. If you feel inspired at any point to do something, to act, Ide much rather you drop the book and come back to it later. The book is not going anywhere.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Preface</u></strong></p><p>This book is not a prescription to all of your problems (sorry my friend).</p><p><br></p><p>Instead, this book is here to show you a collection of thoughts about creation, and curiosity; all of which are aimed to help you create some cool sh*t and make some meaningful noise so you can craft a better world beneath your own two feet.</p><p><br></p><p>If you have any opposition to my words, then good! It's this book's job to help you find where your own ground lies - Put to use what you find useful, discard the excess: I will not be offended in any way.</p><p><br></p><p>If you can: think of me as your encouraging spirit, like a friend cheering you on. Just like a true friend, this book is not going anywhere. So, If at any point while reading this book you feel inspired to create, or to act: then go do so. Put this book down immediately.</p><p><br></p><p>Regardless of having me as your encouraging spirit, the journey will be long. You can always rest in the pages of this book, but only if you promise to get back out there to continue on your path of creating your own cool sh*t. The game of creating things is your entire life, it always has been. Now that you're aware of this game...</p><p><br></p><p><strong>It's time to become a key player in your own existence. It's time to create some cool sh*t.</strong></p>
