Inside Us

' My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is EVIL. It is anger, jealously, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride and superiority. The other is good. It is peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, 'Which wolf wins?'

The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you choose to feed.'

There are times where our emotions seem to be getting the best of us. You can choose be a victim of your own emotions and get carried away, or you can choose to maintain a decidely mellow demeanor and prevail over them.

The choice is yours.......
