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,
I heard this and I thought to myself, Wow, is that the truth or what?
How many people do you know that feed the negative, anger and resentment?
Select the people that you associate yourself with very carefully because a portion of what they are will eventually rub off on you.
Our hearts know how we feel, we call it our "gut" feelings but it is actually your heart's electrodes responding to what you are physically doing and mentally thinking.
When we do good, we feel good and likewise when we do something not so good we feel bad (at least you should).
In order for something to grow you need to feed it. So make a choice to choke out the anger, resentment, disappointment, hatred, jealousy, envy, sorrow, judgemental, negative, arrogant, greed.
It needs to be a choice and eventually it will be a way of life because the choice will be to feed the positive things in life. The things in life that we look back on with fondness, that bring a smile to our face. Those are the things that need to be fed.
Share happiness, love, compassion, benevolence, generosity, faith, hope, kindness, empathy, serenity, and friendship.
They are so much more fun to share. There is nothing better than a big smile or better yet laughter that comes from the heart.
