Story of the two wolves: A Cherokee story
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “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.”
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The 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 grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Whether or not it’s your first time hearing this story, it serves as an important reminder of the power we have over our experiences and emotions.

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying (by Bronnie Ware)
1.. I teach, write and coach about this frequently and live my life with this as a compass
2..I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
No one has ever lay on their death bed and said they wished they had worked harder.
3..I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
This was truer for males more than females but it applies to all. Why do you stuff your feelings or leave them unresolved? They’re just feelings. If ignored, they fester and get stronger
4..I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Do you have people in your life you think about but don't call or write or visit? Why not? Make a point to connect and you will be richer for it.
5..I wish that I had let myself be happier.
The key word here is ‘let’. Can you allow yourself to choose happiness? If you don't you have no one to blame but yourself.
RECALL remember a belief or experience that causes you to keep it hidden
REFLECT: Consider the memory What , with who, How did it affect you...How does it continue to linger?
REVEAL ON Paper to self In a journal, write your memories , thoughts, feelings and reactions. Just free flow Then read it to your self as if you were hearing about it from your younger self
REVEAL TO ANOTHER Big Step!!! Who can you share your story with...who will listen with suspended judgement and full acceptance
REBOOT: After sharing imagine you are rebooting your memory, just like a computer. Let it be defragmented, and safely put away..Imagine that you have created a new clean space to really experience life refreshed
RESTART Get back on your life journey to your future, starting now. Step into your future and live it more free.
