On Choices
A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
“A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, and deceit.
The other is good: joy, serenity, humility, confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, compassion and deep vision.”
A child asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?”
The elder looked him in the eye. “whichever one you feed.”

We always have choices - not so much that we can always choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we respond to what happens to us.
