A Little Indian Wisdom.
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.”
