Careful What You Feed

There is an old American Indian story that goes something like this:

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight between two wolves.

One is evil — he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, and ego.

The other is good — he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”

The same fight, he explained, is going on inside every person — and inside you, too.

The grandson thought about it for a moment and then asked:

“Grandfather, which wolf will win?”

The old man replied simply:

“The one you feed.”

I hope you will take a moment and watch this video below and consider what your attention is feeding.
