An elder teaching his grandson about life.
He says,
My son,
Inside me,
There's a battle between two wolves.
One wolf is evil.
Full of anger,
Envy,
Greed,
Arrogance,
Self-pity and ego.
The other wolf is good.
Full of joy,
Peace,
Love,
Hope,
Kindness and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you.
And inside every other person too.
The grandson thought for a moment.
And then asked.
Grandfather,
Which wolf will win?
The grandfather smiled softly and replied,
The one you feed.
This story is simple,
Yet it carries timeless wisdom.
It's a powerful reminder of the choices that we make in every moment.
Right now,
In this moment,
The two wolves stir within all of us.
Every day,
Through our thoughts,
Actions and choices,
We're feeding one wolf or the other.
Either the good wolf or the evil wolf.
Awareness helps us choose.
Without judgement,
Which wolf are we feeding?
Which thoughts have we been nurturing?
With each new breath.
Each moment we're free to choose.
We can choose to feed the good wolf.
The wolf of love,
Peace,
Joy,
Hope and kindness.
