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 and it is between two wolves.
One is evil ~ he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority, self-doubt and ego.
The other is good ~ he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you
and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The old Chief simply replied,
“The one you feed.”
