We all have the power of choice. Choices are catalyst for change. It can take us to heroic heights or bring us down in despair. It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
There is an old tale about conflict of choices within ourselves-
An old Cherokee Indian was speaking to his grandson, “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good — he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, 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 long minute, and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed the most.”
We always have the choice between good and evil, and it REALLY matters which one we choose.
