In a story from Native American folklore, a grandfather explains to his young grandson the inner struggle between good

and evil.

A battle goes on inside us all, the grandfather begins. It is a battle between two wolves. One wolf is the embodiment of everything evil, like hate, anger, jealousy, resentment, greed, arrogance, lying, and selfishness. The other wolf is the embodiment of everything good, like love, joy, peace, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, compassion, truth, and faith.

The grandson thinks about those words and then asks, Which wolf wins? The grandfather replies, The one you feed.

How can you tell these two wolves apart so youll know which to feed? Whenever you have a thought that causes you to feel discontent, bitter, unhappy, or critical, you can be sure its the wrong wolf, stalking his prey. Dont be his next meal! Feed the other one instead by filling your mind and heart with positive and faithbuilding thoughts. Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableif anything is excellent or praiseworthythink about such things.
