GOD, grant me the SERENITY
To ACCEPT the things I CANNOT change
The COURAGE to change the things that I CAN
And the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE!
I don't know how many things I've needlessly stressed about in my life. Most of which, I could not change, and had one hell of a time accepting that. I'm constantly reminded how important it is to be able to realize what is within your power and what is not. It usually doesn't occur to me right away, but I get there sooner or later. The only thing I can absolutely change is my behavior, my thinking, my philosophies, and over all, my attitude. Everything else isn't really up to me. I can express my opinions to others, listen to other's opinions, but who am I to think that I can change anyone else?
I've been very selfish lately. I've been complaining about something that really isn't about me. Yes, it affects me, but can I change it? Nope. I guess I'll just have to be the bigger person and lead by example, change my behavior. The rest is up to them.
These are just little tidbits of things that are on my mind. I hope you enjoy your time spent peaking inside my brain. Stay as long as you like - I promise, I won't feel a thing... because your not actually inside my head... do I really have to explain it to you? ;-) Have fun. Comments welcome.
