Cherokee Legend - Two Wolves

"An old Cherokee is teaching her grandson about life... "A fight is going on inside me," she said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - it is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, gratitude, trust, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandmother, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee smiled and said, "The one you feed."

Decisions

Every decision is the wrong decision and the right decision at the same time depending on who is looking at it.

Acceptance

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."
~Melody Beattie~

"Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human."
~Albert Ellis~

"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology that you never got."
~Robert Brault~

"I'm not ok - And you're not ok - And that is ok."
~William Sloane Coffin

Dada Vaswani

"Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy."

Jampolsky

“Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.”

Tao

“The best fighter is never angry.” ― Lao Tzu

love

"The people who love you for who you are and not for what you can do for them are the best kind of people."

Brigitte Nicole

wake up

"Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be."

~Alan Watts~

freedom

“Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.” ~Stephen Covey
