“Feed your faith and your fears will starve. Feed your fears and your faith will starve.” Pastor Max Lucado
An old Cherokee chief was 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, self-doubt, 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 minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The old chief simply replied,
“The one you feed.”
Takeaway
Your thoughts can be your best friend or worst enemy. That is, if you let them.
Think about how you may be “feeding” your positive or negative thoughts, and allowing them to control your prevailing mood, attitude and behavior.
You have the ability to change anything in your life that no longer serves a purpose. Start today by believing that there is nothing in life that you can’t achieve. It is vital that you maintain a positive mindset and focus on what’s positive in your life. Dreams and goals cannot come to pass with a negative mindset.
