You are more creative than you think.  Our nature is to be creative.  It is an energy that flows through every living being.  A UCLA study shows that young people who engage in creative activities they outperform their peers in every category, from academics to life skills.  Creativity not only boosts the advantages of young people, but it is a healing force for all of us.
