Wolves Eating You!

Shaaz Nasir

One of the best Lessons ever

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life . .

He said to them,

“A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil—he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, false competition, false superiority, and false ego.

The other is good —he is joy, peace, love, hope, trust, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, hard/ smart work, truth, and compassion.  This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, ”

Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”

The Elder replied…..

“The one you feed.”

This simple yet powerful short story if understood can have a long lasting impact on your life.
