2 Wolves
My dad is a wise man, have I ever told you that? I’ve been struggling lately. And he sent me this email before now, but I just read it and thought I’d share it with you because it truly makes sense.
TWO WOLVES
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.”

Agree, your dad sounds like a very wise man. There is so much truth in that email.
Great post and lots to think about.
I think one wolf is a sneak thief. You have to watch him closely sometimes.
Very wise! I'm like Linda, however, I think the bad wolf sneaks feed I don't mean for him to get. Good luck, sweet friend. I wish you the nice wolf always.
Wow! Which one do I feed??? Great post.
