[A]s people get older, the push for creativity diminishes. Creativity is often relegated to drawing, making music, or writing. People who don’t consider themselves artistic may falsely believe that they are not creative.
But creativity is much more than art. It is a part of nearly everything we do. And the more the creative brain is used, the stronger it becomes.
Creativity is the force that propels people forward, that allows an object or idea to come out of a place where there was nothing before. To create is to grow and change. Creativity is about culture and learning and problem solving.
Simply put, creativity is vital to life.

- Improves problem-solving
