Wisdom story: It's up to you which of the two wolves inside you wins
Once a young boy of a proud Cherokee tribe was brought before the council of elders for his aggressive behavior. One of the wisest of the elders took the boy aside and shared with him a bit of wisdom.
“I am not surprised that you are so aggressive. You see, each of us has, in his own soul, two wolves. One of these wolves is good, the other evil. They are both of equal strength and are locked in a violent battle to the death! And they will follow you through your entire life, and every now and then influence your decisions.”
The young boy thought about this for a second and then he asked, “If this is true, and both wolves are of equal strength, which one wins?”
The old man smiled as he put his arm around the young boy, and tells him, “The wolf that wins is the wolf you feed!”
Moral of the story:
- We can not control what happens to us, but we can control how we react.
- Be mindful of your thoughts and the habits you develop, they work on the compound concept. What you think and what you do on a daily basis is the basis for your future.
