“There are two wolves fighting in everyone’s mind. By feeding them right, they both win” said the old Cherokee Chief to the young boy. Just feeding the good wolf will make the bad wolf angry. If you’re distracted or upset the bad wolf will then control your mind with its negative qualities of; anger, greed, self-pity, inferiority and ego. When both wolves are fed the evil wolf is happy and shares some of its good qualities which are; tenacity, courage, strong-willed and strategic thinking, which we have need of at times.

Those are the very things the good wolf lacks. What the good wolf has that the evil wolf lacks are; compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, empathy, faith and truth. The good wolf needs the evil wolf at his side. Feeding one will make them fight and be uncontrollable. Feed them both and there will be no internal struggle for your attention. TO FEED THE TWO PROPALLY, ONE MUST ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE GOOD QUALITIES OF EACH WOLF. IF THE BAD QUALITIES ARE ALLOWED TO SURFACE ONE MUST EMBRACE THE GOOD QUALITIES IMMEDIATELY. That will serve you well. Having no battle within yourself you can then listen to the voices of deeper knowledge that will guide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance. 

“PEACE, my son,” said the old chief to the young boy, “is the Cherokee mission in life.” One that has PEACE inside has everything. One that has a battle inside themselves is pulled apart and has nothing. How you choose to interact with the opposing forces, the two wolves, inside you will determine your life. STARVE ONE OR THE OTHER OR FEED THEM BOTH.

TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, STAY HEALTHY. HAVE FAITH . THANK YOU.
