I am no male chauvinist. I just want to use this nice picture to illustrate an important point about personal creativity.

Whatever you focus on in the first instance is your ''foreground'', as in the case of viewing the following pictures. That's to say, whatever else you don't see and/or have missed is actually the ''background'', where the gorilla appears.

Most hidden opportunities are often located in the ''background''. 

We have got to learn to switch perspectives, by mentally pushing the ''foreground'' into the ''background'', and bringing the ''background'' into the ''foreground''.

Doing so allows you to see what's actually out there.

Bear in mind that our mind is hardwired to focus on dominant perspectives. This has to do with our human evolution from the days of our forefathers who were hunters-gatherers. 

When hunting, their predominant activity while looking across the long horizons, was to constantly watch for minute movements in the bushes across the open Savannah, so as to deal with their fight-freeze-flight response.

As creativity guru Dr Edward de Bono puts it, personal creativity comes from the ability to have multiple perceptions or perspectives, as well as the fluidity of perception.

Think about it!
