serenity

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS THAT I CANNOT CHANGE, COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN CHANGE, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

The first time i heard that prayer, i was doing my internship in a rehab centre. I thought that prayer was deep, and it is. Right now in my life, I am dealing with so many things, including serious culture shock, trying to make new friends and dealing with some other issues. what can i say, life is life. au?

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY: in the fast paced life. We need serenity, peace to face life. there is nothing as disorienting as trying to face life when your thoughts and emotions are all over the place. (Trust me, I know)! We need find ways to find some serenity. We all have different ways of getting serenity; meditation, prayer, talking with significant others. Whatever you do, make time to get serenity, very important! Too many insane people. We do not need an extra...

TO ACCEPT THE THINGS THAT I CANNOT CHANGE: Some things cannot be changed. That is just life. We need to accept that and learn to adjust our lives accordingly. In life, we need to make changes to accommodate things that we cannot change. It is not easy but it can be done. Move from denial and make the changes that need to be made.

COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN CHANGE: There are things we need to change and sometimes we need to get off our feet and DO! Sometimes we are too paralyzed by our fears, our insecurities and other things that make us not act. Fear can ruin our lives, we need courage! Courage to face what we need to face so that we can change what we need to change.

AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Wisdom, a gift from God. We all need it lest we do the 'open mouth, insert both feet' thingy... in relation to continuity and change, accepting and acting, we need the wisdom to know the difference. Wisdom to to know the needs in our lives so that we can act accordingly.

Today i say a prayer for all of us, a simple prayer that means different things to different people. To people in rehabs, people facing different situations in life. Whatever we are working through, MAY GOD GRANT US THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS THAT WE CANNOT CHANGE, COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT WE CAN CHANGE AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
