I know, I know—the world often feels like it’s in attack mode. So where’s the serenity? That’s exactly why I stopped watching TV and why I don’t engage in conversations filled with hate. Instead, I simply walk away. The best way to win an argument is to avoid it.
Now, let me be honest—it isn’t easy. Serenity is a choice. Every single day, I make the choice to pursue it, no matter what’s going on around me. Some may think that makes me ignorant. That’s okay. I don’t place much value on what others think about how I choose to live my life.
If you’re curious about where my serenity comes from, I’ll share my secret. You don’t even need to be a believer to experience its benefits, though I truly believe being a believer magnifies them. Here it is, a prayer that never fails to center me:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
I’ll admit something that’s been waking me earlier than I’d like: there are some things in my life right now that require change. Deep down, I know this. It’s challenging, and I’ll need courage to take those steps forward.
Keep me in your thoughts as I walk this path. And may you find serenity in your own journey today. Have a great day.
