Story of the Black Wolf and the White Wolf

According to legend, one evening, a Cherokee elder was teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. This battle that goes on between the two wolves is inside us all of us.

One wolf is Evil. He is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
 
He continued, “The other is Good. He 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 will win?”

Wisely, the grandfather simply smiled and replied, “The one you feed.”

Like the story, Mind Health is created from which wolf you choose to feed.  Optimal Mind Health doesn’t happen by itself---even for the strongest of us.  Optimal Mind health is not born, it’s learned.  

Are you struggling with:

• I am not enough, or

• I am defective, or

• I don’t deserve….
