What Health & Fitness Habits Do YOU Nurture?

The Battle Within Affecting Us All




I received this wonderful story in an email, and I thought it appropriate to pass along, particularly with fitness in mind. As you read the story, think about those habits that allow us to wisely judge and determine on all things relevant to our physical well being. Conversely, equally contemplate those habits that often prove detrimental to a heal-thy way of life. We must then ask ourselves, “Which of these habits am I nurturing?”


The Two Wolves

One evening an Old Man told his grandson 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, false pride, 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 Man simply replied, "The one you feed."
