“Don't be a dick because you're not partaking in the same bad wolves as somebody else. So if you're not smoking and you see somebody smoking, just know that, you know, it doesn't make them a worse person than you.”
Have you ever thought that one good deed could balance out your bad habits? Carel van Heerden, in this episode of the Craving Wolves podcast, sheds light on why that's not the case. Drawing from his own experiences, Carel explains that feeding your 'good wolf'—making positive changes—doesn't give you a free pass to ignore your 'bad wolves'. He emphasizes the importance of tackling all areas of self-improvement rather than relying on a single positive action to justify negative behaviors.
Carel's approach is both empathetic and practical, urging listeners to be kind to themselves and others. He discusses how judging others for their struggles can be counterproductive and stresses the need for compassion in the journey toward a healthier lifestyle. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about creating a balanced, compassionate approach to personal growth. If you're looking for a blend of tough love and genuine support, Carel's insights might be exactly what you need.
