Which Wolf will You Feed?

A fight is going on within each person, family, community, state and country. It is a terrible fight between two wolves. The two wolves are equally matched in terms of size and strength.

One wolf is driven by fear of not having enough, anger at what is difficult to understand, envy of what others possess, self-sorrow for the disruption to their routine, resentment of what others have, inferiority complexes driven by a loss of control, lies, and rumors.

The other wolf is driven by hope for our future, joy for precious time with loved ones, generosity from our community to support us during this fight, empathy from our caregivers to a community in need, truth about how we are pulling together as a team, the compassionate heart of a caregiver, faith in each other, and love for one another.

Which wolf will win?

The one that you feed.

We each chose a career in healthcare due to our desire to help others. That desire will carry us through these challenging times as our community needs us now more than ever before. Make no mistake about it; we are in the fight of our lives in order to save the lives of our family, friends, and neighbors. We have to fight this battle together as brothers and sisters, and we will prevail as a family. Be sure every action you take and word you speak feeds the right wolf.
