Two Wolves (The Case for Optimism)

Two Wolves (The Case for Optimism)
(and What Do Shirley MacLaine, George Clooney
&Tomorrowland Have To Do With It?)
By Susan James

In the film Tomorrowland, (starring George Clooney),
the daughter, (Britt Robertson) says to her father (Tim
McGraw), “Remember the story of The 2 Wolves? The
One you’ve told me many times? Let me repeat it for
you:”

“There are these 2 wolves and they are always fighting.
One is the darker and despairing, the other is Light and
Hope. Which wolf wins?”

The dad replies the answer he already knows. “Which
ever one you feed.”

We all have a conscious choice. Which Wolf will we
feed?

Wolf #1 is everywhere you look. When I go to workout,
there are 5 huge screens in front me, while I’m on the
treadmill. I always takes some printed material to read
vs headphones. The TV choices are sports, home fixer
uppers, or The NEWS. Wolf #1 is there being fed
constantly. But so is wolf #2 in ways unknown to many.

Wolf #2 is quietly taking care of things differently. Wolf
#2 doesn’t need to make a lot of noise to be effective.
Only those of us who run with the #2 Wolves
understand what’s being done and how its being done.

From Shirley MacLaine’s “What If” (on the Dali Lama)
“Later I saw a clip on You Tube where he was asked to
discuss the conflicts inherent in differing religions,
philosophies and political points of view. He raised his
hand, leaned forward, and said two simple words: “Fuck
It.” If those two words are good enough for the Dalai
Lama, there are good enough for me.”

As Ms. MacLaine says: “Some of us are going to Look,
but less and less of us . More of us are not going to
look, more and more of us, and that raises us all.”

As more and more of us raise our light, Wolf #1 is no
longer fed that which has kept him alive. More and
More of us ARE raising our light. We are being fed.

About The Author

Jeannie Miller, Author

Susan James – No one will be more tender with your heart and thus, more apt to teach you how to make your dreams come true. I know. She’s done it for me a thousand times.

I have known Susan James for nearly 20 years and she has been a mentor, teacher, coach and most importantly, a genuine friend all along the way. Years ago, when I wanted something, she would said, “write it down and be specific,” and it happened! I still have those index cards, and it taught me, always envision and believe.

With work, with clients, relationships and family. And when challenged, sad and even depressed, she helped to raise my consciousness and keep me on my path. While I’m prone to study and ruminate, Susan balances me with gentle persuasion – “trust that your dreams are there for a reason, and follow the inspiration.”

She has helped me with exercise and fitness and my writing career. I would recommend Susan James to anyone who’s saying, “I know I can be more, I know God has a plan for me.” She will help get you there, and she’ll expand your vision of others and yourself. She will take you down the road less traveled and it will make all the difference – (Jeannie Miller, Author)

I am blown away by the intensity of Susan’s commitment to her clients. She is so amazing and able to cut right through all the BS to get to the heart of the matter.

And speaking of hearts, there is no one I have ever worked with that is as generous with her time and spirit. She has a so many wonderful skills as a coach and so much knowledge in this “user friendly physics” stuff, it is uncanny how much she is able to do to help you move beyond your self-proclaimed boundaries and limits. I have come to rely upon her, for her sound advice and clear thinking and hopefully, one day, very soon, I will have enough of the tools to really be the Millionaire Maverick I so dearly desire!

Thanks SJ for having created this wonderful opportunity to share the wealth of information with all of us. You are clearly a gem!

Maverick Momentum moved me from the stuff I was creating by default to the mega success, happiness and sweetness that I now create on purpose.

I always knew what I wanted, but did not know how to get it until my work with Susan James. The best part of all is that it came and ‘got me’, all I had to do was follow my heart.

Every single and collective aspect of my life has benefitted from Maverick Momentum.

Energy is energy, from my heart I wanted to give back to Susan…lets face it, I used to pay a therapist 120.00 and hour… I followed my heart… THIS is when it began to get easier…

I was READY, Susan and the Real deal stuff that comes through her appeared. I KNEW when it was time, I Knew it was Susan that I wanted to coach me…

Man…how do I say thank you to someone who helps me clarify so I got back my breath, voice and life???

Thank you Susan! I may never graduate from Susan. Just is that as I go higher I’ll be calling her from Europe or Japan where I am speaking/performing and say “hey Susan, got a week to spare?”. …she always says “yes.” (SN)
