Two Wolves 

One evening a Native American 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 the Wolf of Suffering.  It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.  The other is the Wolf of Contentment. 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 grandfather replied, “The one you feed.”

The Pressure Is On…How to Manage the College Selection Process

Applying for and choosing which college to attend can be an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process.  However, this does not have to be the case.  It is important to remind yourself, first and foremost, that there is no “perfect” college, just as there is no “perfect parent.”  What makes a college the right choice is up to you and how the college fits into your goals, interests, and priorities.  Now, these goals, interests, and priorities are unique to YOU.  They may differ from those of your friends, teachers, and even your parents.  That’s OK.
