One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
"The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Maybe when life is hard, when things stink and when I feel down, it's because I'm feeding the wrong wolf. It's just something to think about...
I also came across this statistic today from TWLOHA.... I am glad I am not alone...
"About 11.6% of college students were diagnosed or treated for anxiety in the last year, and 10.7% were diagnosed or treated for depression, according to a survey of more than 100,000 students at 129 schools conducted by the American College Health Association."
I love TWLOHA. I'm wearing my TWLOHA shirt right now, in fact. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you shared the wolf story before? I think I've heard it somewhere before.
