Two Wolves

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Heidi sent me this inspirational story today that I would like to share with you.

A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them this story. “In everyone’s life, there is a terrible daily fight—a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil – this one is negativity, fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, frustration, boredom and deceit. The other wolf is good – this one is joy, serenity, self-control, humility, goodness, confidence, generosity, truth, kindness, gentleness, love, patience and compassion.” A child asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins the fight?” The elder looked him in the eye. “The one you feed.”

Thank you Heidi. <3
