audio response: Find Your Howl

http://changethis.com/

  One aspect that I will summarize is the one about the tiger in the cage.  This tiger is trapped within a cage within a zoo.  He is really good at jumping out of the cage, but after he jumps outside of the cage he ends up within another cage within another zoo.  This story is trying to parallel human life and how we are in cages even if we don't realize it.  Take the job you work at, you have been working here for awhile now and have gotten pretty good at every task that is asked of you.  After awhile you will become sick of this job because nothing new is happening and every day is the same almost.  Well one day you decide to quit this job.  Then you realize that you need to get another job to make money.  So as soon as you learn everything at the new job, it will become boring once again.  You will want to "jump" into another job.  Just like the tiger wants to jump from cage to cage.  Human's have cages too.

The word "howl" can be considered your soul or what makes you, you.  Everyone's howl is different and by that I mean howls let a person stand out from the crowd of people.  It will let the other people around you know that you don't conform to what other people do because it is what everyone else is doing, but rather you make up your own way of life.   You basically become a leader that everyone else can follow.  Possibly other people can find their howl too, through you.


The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. -Stephen Hawking
 
This quote can be equated to being a creative person too.  Just change knowledge to creativity.  The illusion of creativity to me is someone trying to control my creative process.  It is like someone telling you how to be creative when truly creativity isn't something you learn but something you practice.
