Thought I would share this…hubby sent to me as did my mother. I don’t always read everyone’s email so I missed it. But I thought it was worth sharing.
The
An elder Cherokee Native American was
teaching his grandchildren about life one day.
He said to them, “A battle rages inside me… a terrible
battle… between two wolves.”
“One wolf is fear & anger, envy & greed
lies & arrogance, inferiority & self-pity,
pride, superiority, and ego.”
“The other is joy & peace, love & hope,
sharing & serenity, humility & kindness,
benevolence & friendship, empathy & generosity,
truth, compassion, and faith.”
It is a terrible battle that has been waged repeatedly within me.”

and all other people, as well.”
After pondering for a moment, one child
asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”
To which the wise old man simply replied,
“The one you feed…”
