Summary: This week's inspiring thought is the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; ~Reinhold Niebuhr

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Reflection: Serenity is knowing that you're doing the very best that you can at the time. It may not even be your very best, but the best that you can do under current circumstances. It's important to accept that there are some things beyond your ability to change; just as important is finding the courage to act when you believe you can make a difference. To be serene is to accept oneself completely.
