There’s nothing like a good tale to shed a little light on the power of our emotions. I just received this story from a friend and thought I’d pass it on.

It’s a great reminder that our thoughts and emotions are constantly creating our experiences. Here’s to feeding more positive thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Expect great things!

Two Wolves.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside 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?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

I love summer. It’s when I feel most spontaneous, relaxed and carefree. At the same time, I find that come August I’m ready for some structure to return. I long for systems to keep me on track and productive.

I use to call these times “my season of discontent,” when I felt out of sorts, but wasn’t sure why. I always knew my life was pretty darn good and that I have little reason to complain. And yet, I still felt restless.

Well, it’s August and that feeling is here again. Why? Well, a little self-reflection quickly surfaced a few personal insights. I realized I’ve been inconsistent in my daily practice–spiraling up, expressing and FEELING gratitude, taking action toward my goals and meditating. I know that consistency is the key, but I wasn’t living it.

So, I took a dose the Live Dynamite.

I refreshed my goals and started practicing intentional creation again–30 uninterrupted days of saying my goals out loud, taking action and believing in positive outcomes. New habits and new nueropathways here I come!

Happy to report that after just 13 days I feel like I’m back on track. I’ve already accomplished two of my immediate goals. (How I love accomplishment.) And I’m really FEELING thankful, energized and happy again.

Here’s to crossing the bridge between knowing and doing!

A moment of personal insight.
