Which wolves are you feeding as you make your way through the crazy world of freelancing? According to a Native American legend, there are two different types inside each person's heart.
"A native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said 'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.' The grandson asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?' The grandfather answered: 'The one I feed.'"
Whichever wolf you decide to feed is the one that will emerge in interactions with your audience, as well as your clients. Freelance writing often involves dealing with both negativity and positivity from fans and business contacts.
Don't starve the wrong wolf.
