“Once, a long time ago, an elder sat by the fire and taught his grandson about life. He said to the boy, “There’s a fight going on inside us all. A fight between two wolves. One is evil, angry, miserable, sad, resentful, prideful, and full of shame, guilt, and self-pity. The other is good. He is peaceful, happy, grateful, kind, benevolent, generous, truthful, optimistic, trusting, and compassionate.” The boy thought about life for a moment and asked, “Which one will win?” To which the elder replied, “The one you feed.” The question to continually ask ourselves is, which wolf are we feeding?”

“Sushi arrives, and it’s not until halfway through the meal that I notice him using his fork to eat instead of the chopsticks. It’s also when I notice that he uses that fork with his opposite hand, so he can keep hold of mine with the other. It’s the best lunch of my life.”

“When someone says something we don’t like, inner peace is replaced with worry or defensiveness. If someone falls short of our expectations, joy is replaced with disappointment.”
