There is so much information accessible to us about anyTHING, so it has become more important than ever to use your own creative mind.

How do we even remember to use our own creativity when so many step-by-step processes are thrown at us.

Why would we even want to use our own brains and thought power if it's easier to follow along to an established method that works?? 

Well, you must.
You have abilities and methods and ideas that are unique to you, and the world needs your creativity.
