. . . living one day at a time,

enjoying one moment at a time,

accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

taking this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to Your Will;

so that I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with you forever in the next.

-- Reinhold Niebuhr

(This is the complete version of the Serenity Prayer.)

Many people spend their days in anger

Inspirational Short Story, Female Fantasy Art, Relaxing Music

and aren't aware of it.

The conditions of work and life make many of us angry; we feel powerless to change them, and our frustration angers us more...

If we examine our lives fearlessly, we may find many things that are in our power to change.

Since we cannot change, or do not choose to change some things, we'd do well to accept them, instead of spinning our wheels in unproductive anger or turning the anger in, against ourselves.

And when we summon the courage to change the things we can,
our lives will bless us.
