shifting focus
I went to work today, it was a good day at work. I don't know where
I am going but having the work and being around others was a welcome shift
in focus. Now that I am home from work, I won't focus on my flaws but I will keep
my focus on other things. It seems the lesson today after being at work. Digging
deep to find the strength to do things on an individual basis. I ate my meal after work
and now I'll go to the gym.

The parable of The Two Wolves popped into my brain as I read this.
Feed the good wolf.
I think I have heard that parable before... I'll look it up! :)
Two Wolves - A Cherokee Parable
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.
"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."
