WOLF WISDOM
One evening, an old Chreokee chief told his grandson a story about a battle that goes on inside people.He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, 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."
No one's perfect - not even band directors. I find myself feeding my Evil wolf way too often. Lets face it - it's easier! Throw yourself a pity party and blame everyone else for your problems. Joy, peace, love, hope, etc., take work (ask any married couple) but are ultimately more fulfilling!
Hey JCHS band members - WHICH WOLF ARE YOU FEEDING?
