Inside us all...


Two Wolves...


One evening an old Cherokee Indian 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 Indian simply replied, "which ever one you feed!"

How amazing is this analogy of the battle of good and evil inside us all? A friend emailed it to me and after I read it I just sat there thinking, "ya that is exactly it!"

Life is truly what we choose to make it.

Thanks for the email Erica...I needed it =)
