Happy Friday, Friends!
I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day as a glorious new day has dawned on the Emerald Coast! This week is such a blessed time with family, and I plan to live this day to the fullest!!! 😊
Today’s happy Friday is going to be short, and I am going to use a few different quotes to tell the story…
Story of the Two Wolves
“There’s a story of the two wolves in Cherokee culture in which a grandfather teaches his grandson an important life lesson.
The grandfather tells his grandson that there is a battle going on inside all of us. It is a battle between two wolves that live inside us.
He says, “My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ that live 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 thinks about it for a while and says, “Which wolf wins?”
The grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” – Unknown
“What you focus on grows.” - Robin S. Sharma
What we feed wins, and what we focus on grows. Seems we would be wise to intentionally, very thoughtfully, consider what we are feeding and focusing on!!!
Now, let’s look at a few more quotes…
“Reflect upon your present blessings – of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” – Charles Dickens
“The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.” – Henry Ward Beecher
“This new day has greeted us with no rules; unconditional opportunity. Do not dilute the power of this new day with the hardship of yesterday. Greet this day the way it has greeted you; with open arms and endless possibility.” – Steve Maraboli
My sincere hope for each one of us, Friends, is that we would recognize and genuinely appreciate our blessings. I get that there are challenges and hardships…we all have them! At the same time, I know we all have blessings! What we will feed and focus on is the thing that each of us will decide today, and those choices will determine the quality of lives we will live!
