Siberian tigers have been known to drag thousand-pound prey up mountain faces and into trees.

Strong as they are, you won’t find them pulling wagons or plowing fields.

Tigers, it turns out, are not good candidates for domestication.

There’s a variety of temperaments within each of us. Sometimes we’re like draft horses. Other times, we’re more like tigers. It’s situational.

When we haven’t struck the proper balance, we may feel like a horse in a birch forest or a tiger in a stall barn.

In these cases, a change in setting could change everything.
