Our background has a huge Influence on our outlook and approach to life.
When you meet some people they are instantly likeable, whilst others take a little time to warm to.
Never be led by first impressions though.
All of us are a blend of good and bad and it takes time to establish who we will admire, respect and Love.
A diamond is hidden in a lump of coal and for some it’s too much trouble to search for it.
Some look at the beautiful “outward” appearance of a person and never consider whether what’s on the inside is beautiful.
To find something ugly where we expected something good is disappointing and could even be disastrous.
All of us make bad decisions at times in life.
Some will learn from it and others will ignore it.
Some of us welcome advice given properly and others resent it.
In all of us there is a fight at times when making choices.
Short term thinkers arrive at different decisions to long term thinkers.
Our values determine our personality but all of us struggle at times with conflicting choices.
Some call it the battle between good and evil.
What a Grandfather shared with his Grandson is worth keeping in mind:
“There is a battle of two Wolves that live within us. One is evil, anger, fear, jealousy, greed, resentment, anxiety, lies and ego. The other is good, joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and trust”
As only a child can ask the boy replies “Which one wins Grandfather?”
“The one you feed” came the reply.
Habits, good or bad, are formed.
Positive people don’t tend to do well around negative people.
The environments we place ourselves in “feed” us.
In everyday life we will find ourselves in changing environments and we need to adapt....but at the end of the day the environment we have chosen for ourselves reveals much about us.
People make choices and this must be respected but it does not mean they should impose their mould on us.
Better that we are true to what people can see about us.....by feeding the right Wolf.
