 THE STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES
One evening, an old Cherokee shared a profound lesson with his grandson about the internal battle
every person faces. He explained, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all." One wolf
represents evil, embodying anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good, characterized by joy, peace,
love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and
faith. This struggle occurs within every individual.

The grandson, after reflecting on this, asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old
Cherokee's answer was simple yet profound: "The one you feed." This statement highlights the
importance of recognizing that we have control over which aspects of ourselves we nurture.
Understanding which wolf to feed is the first step toward managing our own behavior and emotions
effectively.

As we grow older, we become aware of the many uncontrollable aspects of the external world,
including other people and events. However, the realization that we often feel powerless over our
own thoughts, feelings, and actions can be even more shocking. For instance, we may struggle with
persistent negative thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or uncontrollable behaviors like cravings. The
grandfather’s advice, "The one you feed," is deceptively simple, but psychological research reveals
four key concepts related to this idea, which help us understand how to manage and control our
internal struggles.
 THE STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES

But are we indeed really powerless to control our own maladaptive thoughts, feelings
and actions? The grandfather’s answer "The one you feed" is deceivingly simple. The
results of psychological research indicate that there are at least four important concepts
or ideas implied by the answer:

1. The mind is not the unitary entity it seems to us but consists of different parts. For
example in the story there are the two wolves and the “you” that chooses between
them.
2. These parts of the mind/brain can interact and be in conflict with each other
i.e. the two wolves fight for dominance over our mind and behavior.
3. The “you” has the ability to decide which wolf it will feed.
4. Having made a choice, “you” can decide specifically how to “feed” or nurture the
selected wolf

ASPECTS OF
THE SELF
A deeper look on the different aspects of
self can identify specific areas for self-
regulation, stability and improvement.
An individual is composed of three basic
but very different aspects of the self,
they are the thoughts, the feelings, and
the behavior aspects.
1. Physical Aspect
Many individual put a strong emphasis on the
physical aspect of the self. The body is the
tangible, obvious, and we respond to it easily.
More time and money is spent on enhancing
the physical component than either of the
two aspects.
2. Intellectual Aspect
It may be important to some that their mind be
prominent and well-educated. The mind is
important, as it is the part of the self that directs
the other two aspects. The mind learns what to do
and communicates the information to the body and
the feelings. What the mind believes, the body
manifests or acts on, and the emotions feel, or
respond with.
3. Emotional Aspect
The human emotions are the most feared
aspect of the self, as individuals are reluctant
and unprepared to manage them. Managing
feelings are like trying to hold water in the
palm of your hand. They are illusive and
deceptive. A decision made under emotional
stress and strain usually impacts emotions
negatively.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
Personal Assessment of Aspects of Development with Plan of Action

Write about the eight segments of your development. What are the words or
phrases which represent aspects about yourself which you like? What are the
items which you consider to be weaknesses or areas for improvement? What
words which are neutral or factual, such as “5 feet 4 inches tall, 120 pounds”? Do
some categories have more minus than plus areas? The larger proportion of minus
to plus areas you have, the more effort will be needed to achieve positive self-
esteem. If the vast majority of your minus responses are in one or two areas, your
self-esteem is likely to be good but has a few self-estimates which need to be
improved. Name some ways in which you can improve the minus areas and
further enhance the positive aspects.
