An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about Life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me....it is a terrible fight and it is between 2 wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you... And inside every other person, too." His grandchildren thought about it for a minute, then one child asked his grandfather: "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one you feed." Which one do you FEED?
'There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy and a tragedy.'

'Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.'

'An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.'
Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
'To live is the rarest thing in the world.
Most people exist, that is all.'
Oscar Wilde
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.'
Rabindranath Tagore - From Gitanjali
'What is the meaning of Life? To be happy & useful.'
HH The Dalai Lama
