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 the situation for a minute…
He then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf wins?

The old Cherokee simply replied,
“The one you feed.”

Few persons have courage to appear as good as they really are.

J.C. Hare

Why do we fear our brilliance? Why do we hide our lights?

We need to have the courage to shine! And we need to en-courage each other to bring it on – to share our gifts with the world, and with each other

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart.…forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”

Hannah More

Forgiveness does not mean that you are saying, what you did is ok, it means that you refuse to be held in the toxic energy and can move on with your life.

The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”

Benjamin Mays

When you have balance in your life, there is a sense and feeling of well-being, peacefulness, optimism and a clear conscience.

To be able to achieve this you need to be aware, remember and practise the basic foundation of learning to look after yourself spiritually.

When you are spiritually aware, your mind will become more peaceful and clear, you become more loving of the self and others and mindful at all times.

You then start to instinctively know how much time to spend on your own well-being and how much on fulfilling other responsibilities.

You can give your best to others only when you are at best yourself, and you no longer run on empty.

In other words you find the balance.

At times you may feel yourself to be the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities.

Try not to judge them – things aren’t always what they seem. And it could be worse. You could be them!

Out of crisis comes the chance to be reborn, to reconceive ourselves as individuals, to choose the kind of change that will help us grow and to fulfill ourselves more completely…

Every exit is… an entrance somewhere else.

Tom Stoppard

This is so true. Look at the opportunities that arise when something ends, another door usually opens almost instantly. All that energy has to go somewhere – so new situations and circumstances are always being created. It’s exciting! New Beginnings are good.

Where ever you go, go with all your heart.

Think of your life as fun, and that all is well and how it should be, that there’s time for everything, think that your life is easy, and it will be so… and that the best has yet to come.

Think that the things you wish for and answers that elude you will one day catch up, you may have known them all along… think that the lessons that have stumped you will one day bring you joy, and that the sorrows and sadness that have sometimes crippled you will soon give you wings…and that you can fly.

Know that you’re important, you have value and a place on the earth, the earth would not be whole without you… and that you cannot fail your mission here, and know that happiness always returns….infact it is always there if you accept it in
