The wolves inside you
Yesterday I received a very powerful and interesting email, so much so I actually recorded a short podcast about it, even though I should have been asleep in bed!
It was a story about the two wolves that reside inside you (stay with me it’s worth it).
The email went along these lines. An old Cherokee grandfather was talking to his grandson, and told him that within each person there are two wolves living inside them. There is the evil wolf, who is full of pain, despair, madness, guilt, ego, self loathe and more. Then there is the good wolf who is compassionate, caring, honest, reliable, hopeful and full of love. The two wolves battle inside a person each and every day, each one looking to be fed, each one looking for victory.
This happens sometimes without us even knowing!
The little boy asked his grandfather which one of the wolves wins? The grandfather looked at his grandson and simply said “The one you feed.”
I have to say that story really hit home with me, as I know this has happened to me. Those two wolves live inside me and I have fed each one. The story is simple, and wether it is true or not is neither here nor there. It is the impact and the morale of it that is important.
So let me delve a bit deeper. As I said I know I have these two wolves inside me. I know that the one I feed grows stronger and the other grows weaker. However, I also know that the weak one is always there ready to jump and devour the the other wolf.
I have been through some bad times (like everyone) and I know that sometimes I have dwelled on the negative and fed the evil wolf. And you know what happened when I did? I felt worse, I felt more angry, more annoyed, more hateful. It was amazing, there was so many things and people to hate, to be annoyed with. So much despair and pain.
On the flip side when I focused more on the weaker wolf at that time, the good wolf, it began to grow slowly. Seeing the beauty around me, seeing the good in people, understanding that perhaps my negative view prevented me from seeing this good. As I became more positive amazing things happened. I felt more love and gave more love, I saw more opportunities.
I believe that fundamentally all of this goes down to the Law of Attraction – we attract more of what we focus on. The subconscious does not distinguish between good and bad, it just knows that the brain is looking for something or expecting something and it delivers it. There is no filter, your wish is its command, so to speak.
Of course you’re right to think that all of this could be mumbo jumbo nonsense, but before you dismiss it, let me ask you this, even if it was surely it would always be best to think positive rather than to think negative? Right? You have a choice in how you think and what you do, so why not make a conscious choice to be more positive?
Before I finish this post make sure that you realise this. Understand that both wolves are ever present within you and accept this but be very aware of it. Each wolf will grow as you feed it, but the other one will always be there, watching, waiting for its chance to come to prominence.
Make the wolf that serves you best (I believe everyone would say the good wolf) the strongest by feeding it each day wth positive and good things, until that weak evil wolf is just “there” incapable of doing anything while you have it under control.
Till next time…..
