Don't Feed the Bad Wolf

I just came across this on the web. I don't know where it riginated but was taken by its truth and simplicity...Thought I would share

 

 

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…

 

He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil—he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

 

The other is good—he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

 

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

 

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”

 

The Elder simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Thanks for sharing, Rich! Good words to live by.

I love this, Rich. Profound and so very true. I'm copying and emailing this nugget of wisdom to my two teen-age sons right now. Thank you!

Rich, thanks so much for posting that. It really struck me as profound at a time when I need to hear and live it. Great way to start off the week. Thanks again.
