What do you do when life gets you down
#9
RE: What do you do when life gets you down
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."


Answering your question of "what to do when life gets you down":

Don't feed the evil wolf who's responsible for negative thoughts. Choose not to be down about life.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
