An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and arrogance. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth.”
The boy thought about it and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”

There is a lot of truth in that story.

Whether we realize it or not, we are shaped by what we surround ourselves with. If we constantly fill our minds with negativity, anger, and frustration, it’s only a matter of time before that shows up in how we act and respond.

On the other hand, when we intentionally choose positivity, compassion, and gratitude, we begin to reflect those same qualities.

What you feed grows.

Every day, you have a choice. What you watch. What you listen to. Who you spend time with. What you think about.
