  A Grandfather points to his grandson's chest and tells him there are two wolves living inside him.  One is loving, positive and courageous; it isn't afraid to help others and ask for help in return.  The other one is greedy, angry and fearful; it bullies others to hide its fear and to take what others have.  These two wolves are battling to be his guardian spirit.

  The boy asks which one is stronger.  The  Grandfather says, whichever one he feeds will be stronger and will be his guardian on his life path.

  "The French have a new president, the British will soon have a new PM, and we envy them as we endure the endless wait for this small, dim man to go back to Texas and resume his life.  His party is coming to see that it must figure out how to tell the truth about him if it is to compete in 2008, but so far nobody has stepped forward and wound up to throw the pie.  Their clock is stuck in the fall of 2001.  They are sleepwalking toward the precipice."

  It's not what is available or unavailable that determines your level of success and happiness; it's what you convince yourself is true.

  You can only control your reactions  and attitudes to what happens to you.  You cannot control the actual events.

  If you're always trying to be right about everything you do and say, you'll soon find that you have no one around you who's interested in how right you are.
