Is There Such a Thing as The Creative Curse?
You’ve most likely heard the fable of the two wolves inside everyone. If not — let me summarize it for you. According to the “legend,” an old Cherokee grandfather is chatting with his grandson about life. He goes on to say he is fighting a battle within himself. He tells the boy, there are two wolves living inside of him. One wolf is evil, full of hatred, anger, greed, regret, pain, rage, and more. The other wolf is good, full of love, kindness, happiness, compassion, generosity — the list goes on and on.
