There is an old popular legend attributed to the Cherokee or Lenape tribes called “The Story of Two Wolves.” Do you know it? 

Basically A grandfather explains to his young grandson that within us there live two wolves. One is evil. It is anger, aggression,hate, arrogance, and lies. The other is good. It is hope, humility, empathy, generosity, truth, and compassion. These two wolves are constantly fighting inside all of us. 

And when the grandson asks which one wins, the grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” 

In this week’s episode I go deep on the power of the stories we tell ourselves and each other. 

It is through our storytelling (no matter the medium) that we choose which wolf we are feeding inside of us. Which leads me to my question…What stories do you tell? Which wolf to feed?
