Here is a powerful Cherokee legend about two wolves.

An elderly chief was 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.

“One is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

“The other is good. He is joy, peace, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked the grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”

I always have a choice how I will react to an event or action. It is determined by whichever wolf I feed.
