Lack of creativity is related to narrow, unimaginative thinking and hence with provinciality, each literal and figurative, whereas 'travel broadens the mind'. The one that has changed environments, lived in a minimum of 2 different societies (or among it in numerous social classes and sub-cultures) has looked over the proverbial fence. This helps develop less one-sided attitudes and leads to more nuanced and inclusive thinking than that of people who stick at home. In former times, the apply of making pilgrimages was a wise expedient against native and national chauvinism, serving to an individual's horizons to expand. This is almost a prerequisite of creativity nowadays... to possess a sense of the multicultural world. In fact, to travel in itself isn't any resolution, for the gaping tourist can be its end product. Nevertheless even to gape can be higher than being a recognize-all whose mind is made up in advance.
Any healthy person's mind could be a self-adjusting system that naturally develops a lot of complexity. This can be the key to private development and a necessity of individual autonomy. It gradually rejects wrong information and discredits incorrect ideas through two processes. Ideas concerning the world or universe we live in are adjusted in line with experiences or 'feedback from the atmosphere'. Concepts concerning the cosmos that we are partakers in, which so obviously includes concepts concerning ourselves, are corrected in step with reflection and intuition... briefly, the mind feeding upon the 'inner supply' of its own inspiration. In both cases, the progressive rejection of false ideas may be a prerequisite of 'inventive' thinking. Typically the major artistic step takes place with the removal of untrue ideas in the shape of false impressions, wrong judgments, misinterpretations - which have entered the mind through a poor surroundings, unquestioning ancient acceptance, incorrect coaching, wrong education and so forth.
The combination of these 2 processes of outward and inward observation respectively to develop knowledge and insight produces the development of the intelligence and the growth of understanding. The one does not work well for growth without the other. An excessive amount of inward observation (reflection, meditation artistic fantasy) makes one prone to ideas, ideologies and systems of thought or faith that are over- speculative and unreliable forever steerage unless constantly informed by investigation of the basis of one's ideas in the important world. This combination leads to a lot of realistic and hence lasting creativity.
