I shared this with a group of athletes recently.
An old Cherokee Indian chief was teaching his grandson about life.
He said, “A fight is going on inside me,” he told the young boy, “a fight between two wolves.”
The Dark one is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The Light Wolf is good – he is belief, joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you grandson…and inside of every other person on the face of this earth.”
The grandson ponders this for a moment and then asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?“
The old Cherokee smiled and simply said, “The one you feed“.
Every day we make choices, important choices that could be overlooked as being trivial – but these choices define us. They are a statement of whom we choose to be in this life, and what impact we will have on the world around us.
It is harder to feed the light as we are so conditioned to focus on the dark.
Changing your thoughts takes practise. Who is winning for you?
“Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t you are right.“ Henry Ford
What is one phrase that you could change to the light today?
Have an amazing week ahead!!
