I’d like to share a story…
You may have heard someone in your lifetime share this little story. I love it and thank my friend Mary Pat for posting it on Facebook so I can share it with you.
“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 ego.
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.”
Isn’t that just so true?! I have seen many clients of mine come to me with the problem of feeding the “evil wolf”. I rejoice in their accomplishments when they realize it is safe and easy to feed the “good wolf”. We all, at times, choose to feed that evil wolf. The triumph comes when we realize our life is full of choices, and when we choose to feed the good wolf, we are happy and content.
It is my hope for all of you that you will be triumphant in your choices each and every day.
And may all your good wolves be plump!
Another thought…
Talking with my grandsons the other day made me think… When we are tired, hungry or feeling stressed, we may not always be able to be our best selves with our loved ones. It’s important to schedule your day so the ones you love have you as your best self. I realize that isn’t always possible, but a worthy goal to strive for. I’m so grateful for the knowledge of energy work because utilizing this wonderful tool has made it so much easier and natural to be my best self more often than ever before. I hope you will allow me the opportunity to assist you in finding balance in this very fast paced world we live in!
With negativity surrounding and coming at us from so many different angles, it is important to check in with ourselves often every day to see which we are feeding. I love this analogy. So many people do not understand that they have the choice of what they think.
Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thank you Missy! Indeed we need to be vigilant!
wolves are our protectors
Isn’t it interesting that this old Indian tale has wolves in it?
Thank you for sharing,,, very good concept.. makes so much sense..
Indeed. For me the message is clear, however often times people miss the point. It’s all about energy and emotions. When we feed the negative energy/emotions, we attract more of that negativity. When we feed the positive energies, we attract more positive energy to us and life becomes grand! I assist people in feeding the positive energies 🙂
I like the one you feed too. Nice article here. Thank you for sharing.
thank you Casey 🙂
Nice story that teaches an important lesson
Thank you Tom 🙂
We have to be wise enough as to what are the qualities that can enter in our totality as human being.
so very true, Jason! thank you 🙂
That is so true – the one you feed!
words of the wise!
Excellent post Loretta. THe bottom line for everything is “choice”.
Indeed 🙂 thank you Meli!
Our pastor preached on this not too long ago..he said that there were two of us on the inside , battling for control…
Much has been said about the carnal man as opposed to the spiritual man. Thanks Vene’
I think I would love to follow this blog post. Thank you for sharing this good thought. People should never give way or entertain all the bad side. They can fed you down.
Thank you, and welcome Annalou!
Seen the many many times but always a good reminder that your thoughts are things so think the good ones!!!

I had heard this story before. It just goes to show that you have a choice in everything you do.
Yes indeed. Thank you Deborah!
Sweet story and it make a good point
I like it
Me too, Dov… Very simple and to the point. Yet when you ponder upon it, it’s very deep!
So true! Only feed the good wolf!!!!
Thanks Robin 🙂
That’s a great story and so true. So many people bring on their own drama.
That’s the remarkable part! Thanks Karen!
Lovely story, I enjoyed ready it.
Thank you Glenda!
Sometimes the evil wolf gets fed more, but more often then not the good wolf wins..
We are, after all, human 🙂
This is one of my favorite stories about remembering to focus on that we wish to grow – and not feeding the ‘bad wolf’ inside us all
Me too! It’s easy to re-tell to children, and eye opening for adults!
I love that wolf story. How true. My husband and I see the same life through different eyes and a different mind-set. My life is rosy.
Interesting Francene… Has he ever considered energy work? I used to be the negative non-rosy spouse. I had to hit rock bottom before I would consider energy healing. I’m here working hard so people won’t continue to feed the evil wolf until it consumes them. Life in reality IS rosy!
So very true, what you focus on grows! 🙂 #UBC
That is a terrific story! The one you feed. very nice lesson in that. Thank you for sharing.
Stopping by from the ultimate blogging challenge FB group.
