Feeding Wolves

A good friend told me a story this week about an old Cherokee. It goes like this:

An old Cherokee is 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, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The 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 Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

My good wolf leads me to:

1. Be curious
2. Give without the need for a returned favor
3. Make decisions out of passion

My bad wolf leads me to:

1. Be anxious
2. Question “what’s in it for me”
3. Make decisions out of insecurity

Which Wolf did you feed this week?
Which one will you try and starve next week?

Cheers,

BW
