Tomorrowland Instagram-01

 

A couple of days ago, me and my wife went to the movies to watch Tomorrowland. We were fascinated by a short story that was told in the movie, because for us, it perfectly explains the struggle that goes inside all of us between the ego and our Soul, and how clearly your Being and everything that surrounds you reacts to the wolf you decide to feed.

One evening, an old Cherokee 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 Cherokee simply replied: “The one that you feed.”

The ego is a fearful wolf, bounded to hundreds of beliefs.

The Soul is a fearless wolf that doesn’t judge anything as good or bad, full of desire to explore and learn from every experience.

And you… which wolf are you feeding today?
