THE BATTLE OF TWO WOLVES INSIDE OF US

By Vernalee

Allow me to tell you a story. Here goes...

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. Prophetically, he tells him a story about two wolves.

"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 full with anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good - he is full of 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 Cherokee simply replied, The one you feed."

Truly, what we internally fed our souls determines who we are; it determines our character!
