An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me and it is between two wolves. One wolf is bad - he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego. The other wolf 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 moment and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"
The elder simply replied, "The one you feed."
Don't Feed the Bad Wolf!

What a good reminder that we ALL have those two wolves in us. This is a daily battle that we all must fight. Let's put on our armor and try not to feed that bad wolf. Thanks for sharing this wise story with us. Love, Mom
Thanks for sharing that with everyone. Will feed the good wolf today.
Well, sometimes it helps to feed the Bad Wolf...a little Chemo and Radiation, that is!
