We do not always like the way things are. Today’s environment makes us get angry sometimes. With traffic jams, with corruption, with spoilt brats of politicians , with the “I must get past you at any cost” attitude and so on.
Sometimes we wish we could change the way things are in our world. You and I know that you cannot change every thing to suit your needs.
Here is a small prayer called The Serenity Prayer used by Alcoholics Anonymous (and I am not a member!) which strikes me as being beneficial in such times.
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
Acquiring happiness comes through looking at the good things you have….not what the other fellow has!!
Nice one! I so identify with the frustration arising out of traffic jams, not to mention reckless drivers and cars with their high beams on! Counting upto 10 along with this prayer might do me some good next time
