(From page 280 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)

….. You have become a creator, but it doesn’t stop there. No longer dependent on the outside world to determine your destiny, now you have developed the capacity to choose your own fortune and are able to mobilize yourself towards living it out….

Author’s Comment: And this is the funnest part! Being a creator doesn’t mean you need a super power to become another DaVinci. It can mean simply designing a life which incorporates what is most important to you. Or writing funny and/or meaningful quotes and posting them around the house. The possibilities are endless as are the many joys which your creativity can bring to you.

What Jambo Members Are Saying

David Howenstein founded Jambo Japan in 1996. A man with many ideas on bettering the natural/human environment but also unsure how to implement them in a way to make a sustainable organization, he tried various courses of action throughout the years. Like many of you, he encountered frequent frustrations finding that the vast majority of his efforts ended in failure. However, through trial and error, he came upon a recipe for success in his adopted home.

The beauty of Jambo is that it doesn’t preach that there is only one right way. The right formula varies according to each person’s talents, community, and surrounding environment. And each and every person has potential of some kind. Try to put your good ideas into action. Without trying them out, you’ll never know if they will work or not. JAMBO is here to help and provide a forum for sharing."
