Our Evil & Angel selves

We all have our positive , good & angelic selves & we have the negative, bad & devilish selves.

To explain to kids - Story of Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all 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 you feed.'


And to further that I always say we all have a miniature versions of ourselves one as a devil & one as an angel inside us. Whenever we are about to do something "bad" the devil inside you will encourage you. The angelic version will try & tell you its not right. The devil is loud and the angel speaks softly. We have to be calm to be able to hear the angel.
The Devil & Angel are fighting for your attention and trying to influence you.
The one you listen to becomes stronger and your best buddy.
