The Importance of Positive Self-Talk

The following saying is a great reminder for keeping the right attitude, having positive self-talk, and overall remaining positive, especially in tough times. Here it is:

An old Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is going on inside himself. He said it is between two Wolves.

One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which Wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The One I feed.”
