Cherokee Story of the Two Wolves

wolves.jpg You may have heard this short, but profound story before. If so, we cannot be reminded too often. If not, you’re in for a treat.

One evening an honored and respected Cherokee elder told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, 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, grandfather?”

The old Cherokee smiled and simply replied, “The one you feed.”

As you move through the world trying to make your difference, it’s easy to feed the first wolf. Stay true to who you are and keep feeding the second one. Arrive at your goal with your true self intact.

Follow your bliss! Experience your bliss! Become your bliss!
