Sometimes I spend a whoooole lot of time daydreaming about what my life could be, should be, would be if only.... that I fail to just be glad about the present and accept my life and those around me for what it is/they are. Then, too, it seems, sometimes the person I am least patient with... least accepting of is myself. I find it helpful to take a bit of time to step back from the situation or stop the self-talk that's screaming and say the serenity prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. @cybertoad - I love that. Thanks for sharing it! Very well said and a great reminder for me today.

Then, too, it seems, sometimes the person I am least patient with… least accepting of is myself. I find it helpful to take a bit of time to step back from the situation or stop the self-talk that’s screaming and say the serenity prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

@cybertoad – I love that. Thanks for sharing it!

A Quote from H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama

“Every day, think as you wake up,
Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive, I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it,
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself,
To expand my heart out to others,
To achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings,
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others,
I am not going to get angry,
or think badly about others
I am going to benefit others as much as I can”
