Simply Put

I have nothing deemed ‘special’ for you today, but a simple verse that I’ve heard many many times. This specific wording is taken from Angelina Love’s blog, located here.

A native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said 'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.' The grandson asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?' The grandfather answered: 'The one I feed.'

So.. So true; and so simple! Yet sometimes, we forget the simple things in life, because we find ourselves trying to make everything more complicated. Why? Who truly knows. Emotions, boredom.. I’m sure the excuses are endless. Though, that’s simply what they are – excuses. Let them go, come back to simple.

Think about it :)
