Another Thought Provoking Story
An old man is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves – a good wolf and a bad wolf.
One wolf is negative – he is angry, envy, sorrowful, regretful, greedy, arrogant, self-pitiful, guilty and resentful. He tells lies all the time and has false pride.
He continued, “The other is positive – he is encouraging, peaceful, loving, hopeful, sincere, kindness and humble. He is full of empathy, generous and compassionate.
The grandfather explained that “the same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The boy thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old farmer simply replied, “The one you feed the most.”
What a lovely story & so so true.
I’m a cup half full person & I’m constantly checking the words / phrases that I use.
I still find it surprising that people feed their ‘Bad Wolf’…..
It’s a matter of choice not a matter of chance….
Hi Janet, I apologise for the less than swift reply. I have been rather lax recently with the on-line world!
You are so right, the word we use have weight and power over us and others. The way we talk to ourselves can be make the difference that makes the difference….if that makes sense! Kay
