"Creativity isn't cute. Creativity is ubiquitous. It isn't found only in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, or on top of the mountains in Nepal. It isn't tied to age, gender, or race. It's not something special that only a few people have. Creativity is a gift from the divine, but it isn't limited to a specialized group. It isn't tethered to one type of vocation or career. Whether you are aware of it or not, creativity courses through our veins."
