For the month of April several of us are taking on the “30-Day Conversation Coach4aday Challenge“. Today’s dialog is the wisdom between a grandfather and grandson using the analogy of WOLVES.

Wisdom and advice shared between people generations apart has its challenges. Look up the culture slang “Okay Boomer” and you might understand one of the resistance points.

April Conversation Challenge

The overarching aim for the 30-Day Conversation Coach4aday Challenge is to engage or to repeat conversations and disseminate them. Whether these conversations hold valuable lessons, shareable insights, or are simply a mishmash of thoughts, the goal remains to foster connection and potential learning experiences for all involved.

Rules of the Challenge

First brevity is the key. Second it is not necessary to fully identify the parties involved but writing it like a script might be helpful. Third the conversations being shared can come from personal experiences, books, films, TV shows, or are imaginations.

April 19th-Conversation about Wolves

This dialogue, in various forms, has circulated widely. The version that initially resonated with me depicted a Cherokee Grandfather engaging with his curious 8-year-old grandson. Among the topics discussed was the boy’s struggle to consistently choose the right path when tempted otherwise.

Grandson: Pop-Pop how did you always know how to do the right thing when you were my age?

Pop-Pop: Son there are two wolves inside of each of us. One wolf is good the other is evil. They are always fighting.

Grandson: How do wolves live inside of us?

Pop-Pop: The wolves that live inside of us survive on a diet of our thoughts.

Grandson: Pausing a long time-Pop-Pop which wolf wins those fights.

Pop-Pop: The wolf you feed.
