Old Cherokee Grandfather's Teachings
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,”
he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good - he
is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith. This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every
other person too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

To be relentless in all that you do...
To face the greatest of odds with bravery, and win the battle...
To never give up on yourself, or the task at hand...
To pursue any situation or task to its end with a victory...
To not know the meaning of retreat,
unless it serves you in triumph...
To be a fierce warrior and protector of what is yours...
To stand with honor for your beliefs, and fight for them...
To see beyond your own pain or fear and press on...
To fight to the highest of levels to preserve your own life,
or the lives of your Clan or Family...
To let your enemies know that to try to eliminate you,
will be the toughest situation that they will ever face,
at great risk of their own loss...
To live and die with the Great Pride of a Warrior.
