Once upon a time, a Native American elder was telling his grandson a
story of two wolves that live in each one of us and wage a daily
struggle for dominance in our lives.
One wolf is filled with love, joy, hope, peace, gratitude, optimism,
generosity, understanding, humility, kindness, truth, faith, and
compassion. The other is a reflection of bitterness, envy, anger,
sorrow, guilt, greed, arrogance, self-pity, inferiority, lies, ego,
selfishness, and judgment.
Their struggle is constant, their determination to win unwavering.
“So, which wolf wins?” asked the grandson.
The grandfather responded, “The one you feed.”
We all have a choice to accept our own goodness and nurture it every
day. We can all embrace the best within us and choose happiness over
sadness. Which wolf will you feed today?
