Whether one lives today or 100 years ago or 1000 years ago, the same struggles existed. People still had to/have to discover who they are, what is important to them, and how they connect to the bigger world/universe. Finding peace within will always be a struggle, no matter when in history we live.
With that said, I do feel that it is important to tap into my creative side and to help my children tap into theirs. We all knit and crochet. We scrapbook too (which I find to be creative.) In the summer we pick fruit and berries to can, so that the kids will understand that not everything is bought at the store -- but comes from nature. One daughter has woven and died fabric. We all dance, sing, and have fun together. The TV is on very little in our house; but what we watch we watch and enjoy together. And we are happy -- at least I am -- because I know and love me and understand, at least today, what my "job" is here on earth and I have a good relationship with "the universe" (god, whatever you want to call it.)
