Cherokee Wisdom
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
What emotions are you feeding? What habits
do you want to change? Are you focusing on what you want, or on what you DO NOT want? What ever you focus
on, you will get more of. Decide now to look for the things that will make you happy and successful. When you
look for them and expect them, you will find what you are looking for.
