An old tribal leader is teaching his grandson about life.
A fight is going on inside me,
He said to the boy.
It's a terrible fight,
And it's between two wolves.
One is evil.
He's anger,
Envy,
Sorrow,
Regret,
Greed,
Arrogance,
Self-pity,
Guilt,
Resentment,
Inferiority,
Lies,
False pride,
Superiority,
And ego.
He continued,
The other wolf is good.
He's joy,
Peace,
Love,
Hope,
Serenity,
Humility,
Kindness,
Benevolence,
Empathy,
Generosity,
Truth,
And compassion.
The same fight is going on inside you,
And inside every other person too.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and asked his grandfather,
Which wolf will win?
The old tribal leader smiled and simply replied,
The wolf you feed will win.
Close your eyes now.
And gently arrive at the simple ease of the state of your being.
Connect with that non-stop ebb and flow of your breath.
The nourishing wave of the inhale feeding you and filling your being with sacred life.
The long,
Slow,
Deep wave of exhale releasing,
Unwinding,
Clearing,
And cleansing.
Connect with your breath.
Allow the breathing to fill you and cleanse you.
There might be heavy chains of the past tied to the feet of your tired soul.
It's trauma keeping you from flying.
There are deep-rooted fears that might have grown as cancerous weeds in your beautiful garden.
The clouds of self-doubt might just seem to stay blocking away any ray of life.
The claws of not being good enough might be choking your being.
There is a place of peace,
Ease,
Laughter,
Joy,
And happiness that you know of.
A state of being you longingly yearn to reach someday.
I'm here to say,
Give up the struggle for this moment.
Give up.
Say,
I can't and let it go.
Surrender.
Let all efforting come to a stop.
Let the struggle end.
Come to a neutral space of not doing or wishing for anything.
Let every fear fade away for now.
Let there be nothing weighing you down.
Meet yourself in this nakedness of your soul,
My friend,
Pure,
Radiant,
Needing of nothing,
Full of the joyful now.
Take a few deep loving breaths.
Let your breathing elevate you into a realm of lightness,
Of being.
It's okay,
My fellow traveler.
It's okay.
You are not wrong.
You're an extension of the infinite intelligence.
You are a speck of stardust that belonged to universal love.
The blood and the bones in you are the framework for galaxies to float in.
It's okay,
My friend.
Today,
You will be okay.
Give faith a chance today.
Trust in the simple flow of your life.
Let resistances fall apart and open their gates to the flow of life.
Have faith in the journey of your life unfolding.
As you prepare for the rest of the day,
Remember to be more and do less.
Be more faithful.
Do less struggle.
Be more aligned.
Do less resistance.
Be more allowing.
Do less clinging.
Be more in the now.
Be more in the now,
My friend.
As you prepare for this day,
Give faith a chance.
Trust and surrender.
Take a moment to remember the good things,
To count your blessings.
Life is on your side.
Say yes to every part of you waiting to float,
To dance,
To laugh and be joyful.
Now,
Give joy a chance.
Right now,
Give love a chance.
Today,
Give faith a chance.
Give faith in yourself,
Your inner magnificence and faith in the higher intelligence that's always been guiding you.
Surrender to the flow of life.
Let what comes come.
Let what goes go.
You are safe.
You will be okay.
Trust.
Trust in the process.
Trust in this journey.
You're on your way home.
Today,
Smile from your heart.
Because the heart loves a good laugh.
All is well,
My friend.
Feed your good wolf.
Feed your good wolf.
Whenever you're ready,
Gently,
Very gently,
Open your eyes to a beautiful day and a beautiful world.
Namaste.
