You've Got the Power - It's All You


Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It 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 wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Which wolf are you feeding?

We become what we think and we create what we think, so what kind of thoughts are most prevalent in your mind? Those of abundance, gratitude and strength? Or those of blame, anger, and shame?

I find it amazing to watch what happens in people's lives when they realize that their thinking has been their own worst enemy and they have in large part created their misery.

While this concept sounds simple, changing the habit of negative thinking is difficult for some.

There are many resources out there to help you along. Certainly, if your thinking is impeding your relationships, your livelihood or your health, then counseling is a good option.

You also may want to watch a new movie that has been getting a lot of buzz lately, called The Secret. It's not in theatres or on Netflix, so you'll have to go to the website and download it. This is really worth anyone's time and I recommend watching it over and over and over......

Other resources that may be helpful in changing your scarcity thinking to abundance thinking are Choosing Prosperity and Wealth Beyond Reason. These websites give great information, audios, and interactive experiences to help you create a greater degree of abundance thinking in your life.

I ask you again, which wolf are you feeding? Look around you, you created it. Do you like what you see? Do you like what you feel? If not, then change it.
