One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy,sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is 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 you feed."

The author of this little story is unknown.  It was passed onto me by one of my great clients.  What struck me instantly was the parallel to the abundance and scarcity principles in Coaching Into Greatness.

Although I never call scarcity "evil", I do say that it is quite insidious in how this mentality operates just under the surface of so many lives.

It really comes down to where you put your attention and LOVE.  If you love scarcity, it will grow and overwhelm you.  If you love abundance, it will grow and fulfill you (the cup is overflowing, right?)

Where are you focusing your attention and love?
