Today while I was watching short videos i came across one where a young girl was sitting with her father, asking a deep question about life. She said, “We all have two wolves inside us, one is darkness and despair, and the other is light and hope, they are always fighting but my question is which one will win?” The father smiles and replies, “Whichever one you feed.” This may seem a very simple story but it teaches us a very important lesson about life.
In this story the wolves symbolize the inner battles we face every day in our life, one wolf brings negativity, fear, and self doubt, dragging us into despair, while the other wolf is filled with positivity, courage, and dreams, lifting us toward hope. These two forces constantly compete within us. But the result or the outcome is entirely up to us. If we focus on the negative, regret our past mistakes, or let fear take over, we are feeding the wolf of darkness. On the other hand, when we choose hope, positivity, and resilience even in tough times, we feed the wolf of light, giving it the power to guide us.
The two wolves are always there fighting for control but the choice is ours. Every thought, action, and decision we make feeds one of them. So, I want you guys to ask yourself: Which wolf are you feeding today? Remember it’s your decision so you better choose wisely and carefully.
