i came across this and figured id share it.

One evening, a Cherokee elder told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people’s heads.

He said, “My son, the battle is between the two ‘wolves’ that live inside us all.

One is unhappiness. It is fear, worry, anger, jealousy, sorrow, self-pity, resentment, and inferiority.

The other is happiness. It is joy, love, hope, serenity, kindness, generosity, truth, and compassion.”

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”.

One is unhappiness. It is fear, worry, anger, jealousy, sorrow, self-pity, resentment, and inferiority.

I think the most important thing you can do as a human being is wake up every single day, and look at yourself and realize how many of these you act upon per day/realize it, and try to stop.

If there would be one lesson i could teach to kids at a younger age this would be it. There is not one single self made person who is not constantly putting these feelings in check, and they are constantly trying to reduce feeling them and acting upon them.
