Something to think about...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I heard this some time ago and still rings true today...

 

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son,there is a battle between two wolves inside of us.  One is EVIL.  It is Anger, Jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies,and ego.  The other is GOOD.  It is Joy, Peace, Love, hope, Humility, Kindness, Empathy, and Truth."

The boy thought for a moment...."Which one wins?"

The old man replied quietly..."The one you feed."

 

This is so true even today.

What a great quote, Bill!  The eternal battle between good and evil.
