I was lucky enough to be invited to some management training last week for work. The sessions were called Managing Change and Resiliency. Both things, I feel I need to work on personally and professionally.
Anyway, the course were very interesting but the one thing I really took away from the whole thing came in the form of a story the instructor told. I will re-tell that story here - I do not know where the story originated and I am in no way claiming this as my own, nor did the instructor claim it was hers.
Once, long ago, an Indian Chief was telling a story to his grandchildren.
'Children', he said, 'There is a war inside of me. Two great wolves are fighting. One wolf represents all things good, pure and wonderful in the world, kindness, peace, truth and love. The other wolf represents darker things. Doubt, anger, lies and hate.'
The grandchildren thought for a long time. Then one asked: 'But grandfather, which wolf will win?'
The grandfather looked at the children and said 'the wolf that will win, is the wolf that you feed'
That story really struck a cord with me. You all know I am trying hard to improve my outlook, and do better for the world. I am now more determined than ever to feed that wolf with kindness and love and positivity. I will let that wolf of hatred starve.
