Feeding the Wolves

I listen to Dr. Laura when I can. Her show isn't for young kids, so when I am in the car while she is on, I try to listen. I love her! I have listened to her for 10+ years, and her wisdom is great. She is a little rough on people but her advice is rock solid.

I had a moment yesterday to listen to her. I want to share with you a little story she shared with a caller. The young gal called in and just starting crying. She is a young mom, has a huge history of abuse, and is wondering what in the world she is doing thinking with her history she can mother, etc. Just completely fell apart at the words "hello" on the call.

Dr. Laura gently, and encouragingly shared this story.

A grandpa is sitting with his young grandson on his lap. Grandpa shares how he has two wolves in his brain. One is ferocious and mean. He will tear you up if he were near you. The other wolf is happy go lucky, enjoys life, likes to have fun and loves people.

Well of course, this startled the little boy a bit. He asked with trepidation, "Grandpa!! Which one will win?!"

Grandpa replied, "The one I feed."
