Who Are You Feeding?
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this
manner:
"Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil.
The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time."
When asked which dog wins he reflected for a moment and replied, "The one I feed the most."
Even more than that, the quality of our life reflects the choices we make.
Those who feed to good dog seem to have a more enjoyable life- a life filled with positive things happening to us. Yes, there certainly is rain in every
life, but how we perceive them makes all the difference in the quality.
Think about it... doesn't it seem that the people who gripe the most also seem to have the most challenges in life?
Don't negatives seem to be attracted to them, whatever they put their hand to turns to dust?
And doesn't seem that those who are the luckiest tend to say they are lucky?
Doesn't it seem like everything they touch turns to gold?
What you speak you get. It's just another way of stating the law of cause and effect, of reaping and sowing.
So, the question is simple, which dog do you feed the most?
