Which Wolf survives in your mind?

This week I thought a lot about an old story. It begins by imagining there are two wolves battling in your mind. One, the "Lone Wolf", thinks in terms of scarcity, fears the unknown, refuses to show vulnerability or seek help. The other, the "Leader of the Pack", thrives on the growth in challenges, strives for progress not perfection, embraces collaboration over confrontation. Now the questions stands, which wolf survives in your mind? The answer is simple but impactful, it’s the wolf you feed. The one you give energy to daily.

Our thoughts and behaviours are carved by our attention. If we focus on growth and collaboration, over time, they will appear on our path. Where your mind spends its time is where you will spend yours. We can be aware of our fears and weaknesses without letting them negatively drive our behaviours. The key is awareness. I recently realized I spent too much time feeding the wrong wolf, then I became aware. Now, I pose the question to you, "Which wolf are you feeding?". Alternatively, if a different metaphor resonates with you, consider "which seed are you watering in the garden of your mind?".
