Inside Us All ♥

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’
The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’

I read this today and felt instantly connected to it. It's true for us all, so make a daily choice and feed the good wolf until the other starves and dies.

Luv, Nikki ♥

I'm Different Now ♥

Whenever any passionate writer like myself goes on an extended or intermittent hiatus it's usually because there is a significant change going on in their life causing them to have writer's block. Some of my changes were quite obvious, but most were not. When I first started blogging many years ago I was Completely Different. My outlook on life, my maturity level, my opinions...my everything. Over the years I've matured from a girl to a Woman ♥ in every since of the word. Sometimes I even confuse myself because I react to situations and people much differently. In the past I had less tact and even felt arrogant at times, but now those traits are comical to me, and I've been humbled enough through life's lessons to have more compassion and empathy. This blog is a reflection of a young woman that was constantly renewing herself. My positive uplifting words were for me just as much as they were for you. I've gone through ups and downs in life and I've reached a point Today actually, where I realized I am simply DIFFERENT. I'm still and will always be a work in progress, but I've definitely reached a new beautiful phase in life. Going forward I will always stay true to myself and my point of view will remain genuine.
Every Story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new Beginning ♥

God Bless :) Luv Nikki
