Here’s a parable that simply and purely illustrates the power of choice.
A young girl went to the tribal elder with a problem. “I feel like there’s a wolf on my left shoulder telling me to be sad and afraid of all the terrible things that can happen. But, I also feel another wolf on my right shoulder telling me that I am safe and loved. I am so confused. Which one will live and show me the truth?”
The elder paused for a moment then said, “The one that you feed.”
I love this 🙂
