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 will win?'
The old Cherokee simply replied,
'The one you feed.'

Rules For Being Human
YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY...
You may like it or hate it,
But it will be yours for the entire period you're around.
YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS...
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life.
Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.
You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS...
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation.
The "Failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the
experiment that ultimately "works".
A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED...
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.
When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.
LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END...
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.
If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
"THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE"...
When your "There" has become a "Here", you will simply obtain
Another "There" that will, again, look better than "Here".
OTHERS ARE MERELY MIRRORS OF YOU...
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless
It reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU...
You have all the tools and resources you need.
What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU...
The answers to life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS...
Unless you consistently stay focused on the goals you have set for yourself,
everything you've just read won't mean a thing.
You may like it or hate it,
But it will be yours for the entire period you're around.
