Inside me there are two wolves.
One hungers for a life of discipline, mastery, and total submission to my craft. The other craves adrenaline, adventure, and to live out my own movie life.
These wolves are radically different by nature, don’t belong to the same pack but equally need to be fed.
It used to be one or the other. I’d choose one and “free” the other– hoping it’d disappear and join another pack….. They don’t.
You won’t starve one off either, just make them hungrier… and harder to control.
You’re born to these wolves, they’re apart of you. You don’t get to pick and choose or trade with other packs, because like it or not, they are what drives you.
Feed your wolves.
Find what they hunger for and feed them both. Make the mistake of favoring one, and you’ll find yourself at the mercy of the other.
Your becoming is a result of leading your pack, they have to work together. The only way to do that, is design a life where both wolves can co-exist and be satisfied.
Want that movie life? Star as the main character– be bold, stand out, take new risks every single day. As for mastery, commit yourself to a few disciplines. It isn’t one or the other, there is no right way or wrong way. It’s actually simple…
…What do they hunger for?
Feed them.
