Something To Think About 10-25-08
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference”
“… The serenity Prayer is well formulated. It might have read,’ God grant me the courage to change that which I can and the serenity to accept that which I can not change.’ Note that acceptance of the unchangable comes first.A recovering person remarked,’ Once I accept things as they are, I can create things as they might be.’ Great inventors and explorers had dreams that led them to their achievements. Yet few daydreamers are inventors or explorers because people who live in a world of fantasy….. ..cannot accomplish in reallyity, accepting it for what it is, that we can make changes. Columbus did not resign himself to a flat world. He had the courage to change attitudes, with the knowledge and skill to bring it about. that is how we must approach life. written by Dr. Twerski 10/25/08 from http://www.gatewayrehad.org/october.html
