It was short and very powerful. Several weeks ago, I heard it again on our public radio station here in Albuquerque. I realized how perfectly the story captures the importance of the most crucial component of success - mindset.
A tribal elder walked with his grandchildren into the forest. They came upon a beautiful tree and he sat them down underneath it. Then, he turned to them and said, “A fight is going on inside me. This is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf is the wolf of fear, anger, resentment and hate. The other wolf is the wolf of courage, kindness, humility and love.”
The children sat very still, and their eyes grew wide as they imagined the fierce battle raging between the wolves. They were very quiet and listened to their grandfather with both their ears.
Then, he said to them, “This same fight between the two wolves that is going on inside of me is going on inside of you, and inside every person.”
The children thought about this for a minute and then one asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win the fight?”
He said quietly, “The one you feed.”
So, which wolf are you feeding?
