I was recently reminded of this beautiful story. Change is hard… Staring at a blank canvas stirs up way too many mixed emotions…. And, at the end of the day, my energy flows to where my attention goes. With that, this story is a good reminder of what counts at every given moment.
An old Cherokee is telling his granddaughter about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between two wolves. One is evil: anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good: friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, faith and deep vision. He adds, “This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well.”
The granddaughter thought about it for a minute and asked her grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The elder Cherokee replied: “The one I feed.”
