Every once and a while I like to re-tell the story of the two wolves, which is the major motivation behind the Good Wolf Project, to help remind myself of the importance of showing up every day...
There once was an old Cherokee Chief sitting around a camp fire with his grandson, and the Chief was telling the story of the two wolves...
"We all have two wolves inside of us that are constantly fighting to get out...
One is a bad wolf filled with hate, greed, envy, and laziness...
The other is a good wolf filled with love, compassion, courage, and abundance."
After sitting and thinking for a while, the grandson looks up at the Chief and says, "If they're constantly fighting, grandpa, which ones?"
The Chief looked up at his grandson, smiled with a slight grin and said, "the one you feed".
ACTION:
Personal growth is a journey of ups and downs, ebbs and flows, fits and starts.
The journey is not linear...it's more likely a wildly erratic roller coaster.
But there is one overarching goal on the course of your journey, and that is to work every day to be a little bit better than yesterday.
After all, it's the act of feeding your Good Wolf that makes the roller coaster less erratic...and that's exactly what we're looking for.
Until next time, here's to your 1% growth every day...
