Battle in the Head

There is a Battle in the Head between two wolves that live inside us all.

One--Unhappiness
fear worry anger jealousy sorrow self-pity resentment inferiority

The Other--Happiness
joy love hope serenity kindness generosity truth compassion

Which wolf wins?

The one you feed.

There is a natural bias to the negative, so make an effort to notice the good that happens to you.

(I wrote this on a slip of scrap paper during a break while I was working in the Tea Room at the hospital. I don't know where it came from. If I knew who to credit it to, I would.)
