THE TWO WOLVES

An elder Cherokee native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”

“One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”

“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person too.” The grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win, grandfather?” The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”

RELUCTANCE

The easy becomes difficult when it’s done with reluctance; the difficult becomes impossible when it’s done with cynicism.

Add ease to your life. If you are to do something, do it wholeheartedly as though your enthusiasm will be the determining factor in whether it can happen or not.

Remember, battles are won not in the battlefield, but the night before when soldiers made up their minds that victory was guaranteed. Approach every task today as if its success is assured and victory will follow.

“There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.”
---Publius Terentius Afer

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

There is a curve called failure,
A loop called confusion,
Speed bumps called friends,
Red lights called enemies,
Caution lights called family,
You will have flats called jobs, but
If you have a spare called determination,
An engine called perseverance,
Insurance called faith,
A driver called desire,
You will make it to a place called success!
