A Native-American grandfather told his grandson that there is a battle between two wolves that live within you.
One is evil and has anger, envy, sorrow, regrets, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, superiority, and ego.
The other wolf is good and has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, faith, courage, honor and integrity.
The grandson asked his grandfather, "Which one wins"?
The old grandfather simply replied, "The one you feed". _________________

Thank you Tonya for posting this,
I have read this a while back, I was sorry that I never printed it because it has come to my mind several times since in general context.
This has come at a good time, for I need to send to one of my children....
When I needed a fireplace, you sent me one, and now when I need the right words, you send them......
Faith and friendship, thank you,

Some people battle only to know they fight themselves.
The key to happiness has three prongs.
Strength
Freedom
Choice.
This key only fits one way.
It unlocks us to know that we have the inner strength by choice,
freely given and gratefully accepted with Creator,
letting the wonders of the world bring happiness to our hearts. _________________

Thanks Tonya this is a very soul searching one.....I truly hope to feed the right wolf as to get this wrong could be deadly
This site has taught me many things about strength, wisdom, choice, freedom and friendship. It has also taught me that just when I think I have filled my heart full of all the kindness and love, I find myself amazed to learn that I have just begun.
