In Jonathon Flaum's "Finding Your Howl", he tells the story of a wolf named Mumon who is raised in captivity and must learn its primal instincts again when introduced into the wild. Through trials and tribulations Mumon regains it's natural instincts, and learns once again to hunt and howl and to lead a pack. The story is about finding yourself, stripping away all of the expectations and things we've been conditioned to do by society and finding who we truly are. It's about finding your voice in a world where everybody has one, but nobody wants to listen to it. But once we find our own voice, discover ourselves and our own message, we can use our own "howl" and become greater than we ever were.
My favorite quote...
"When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself." - Jacques CousteauI was blown away the first time that I heard this quote. I related to it so well. If I have all of this talent and creativity, and all of these ideas and stories racing in my head, why should I be the only person to enjoy them? I want everybody to experience these stories. I want everybody to be exposed to my ideas. I want everybody to know that I'm an extraordinary person, so everybody look at me. I'm going to lead an extraordinary life, fueled by my creativity, and everybody else is welcome on board for this wild ride.
