Creativity and analysis are two of the major functions of your conscious mind.

The creative function thinks up new ideas. The analytical function evaluates things in light of information and experiences already stored and attempts to assign cause and effect it figures things out. One function isn’t better than the other; both must be developed for a person to lead a happy and productive life.
Since our educational system develops the analytical function almost exclusively, here the focus is on achieving reliable access to the creative function.
If you don’t use your creativity, you are living with half your mind tied behind your back. Most people grossly underestimate the power of their own creativity, because it was squashed so strongly in school. Creativity isn’t just for artists, writers, and musicians. All of
us can use our creativity better.
