Old Cherokee Lesson of Life
.
.
.
One evening an old Cherokee 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 simply replied, “The one you feed.”
So what wolf are you feeding right now?

Love it! Very short story with very powerful words of wisdom. Thank you Pat and Lorna for pointing us in the direction of feeding the good in ourselves. We can either sit in misery or enjoy the journey.
I’m feeling kind of hungry now. 🙂 I’m blessed to have you in my life and that’s one way I’m feeding the good!

I love it guys. The one you feed. That really sums up everything. The Indians had some wise lessons we all could learn from.
Thanks for sharing that,
Michael
