Well, spring finally showed up and we all welcomed her with open arms…and sweat.  10 hungry wolves crept out into the gloom for today’s edition of #F3TrueGrit.  We headed out in a different direction this morning to try some new things.  Changes had to be made on the fly once YHC realized he was not, in fact, training the Dallas Mavericks and that the PAX would be unable to use the intended swingsets for pullups.

It’s late at night by the campfire and an old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A battle is going on inside all men,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he lives on envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he lives on courage, joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same battle is going on inside of you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
