An old Cherokee Chief was teaching his grandson about life. “There’s a fight going on inside everyone, including you and me. It’s a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil. He’s full of anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, false pride, superiority and self-doubt. The other one is good. He’s full of joy, love, peace, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson thought for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old chief simply replied…
“The one you feed.”
