a twist on “serenity” prayer

I have always thrived on making mental as well as physical lists for self improvement. Weight, attitude, knowledge, acceptance, confidence. In fact a running joke with anyone who knows me is…if anyone is ever in need of a self help/improvement book or article…look no further than Lori’s shelves!!!
But I have to admit something big…I realize that I have also (even though I know logically that this is futile)always tried to change people. Change the way they feel either about me or about something I might be passionate about. Sometimes this has worked in my favor as well as the people around me. This trait (flaw?) has afforded me the opportunity to “jump into other’s lives, ride their life’s waves and help them ‘change the channel’ in their heads”. I have the ability to add a positive and logical spin for others.
For me…no so much. It takes a huge amount of effort for me to do this for myself. Unfortunately, I have always been the person who wakes up with the glass 1/2 empty. Fortunately, I have also been one to work at changing my perspective throughout the day in order to create a 1/2 full glass attitude.
Here’s what I’ve come up with…maybe this little twist on an oldie but goodie will be helpful for you also.
“…Please, grant me the serenity to accept the PEOPLE I cannot change…
The courage to change the ONE I can…
And the wisdom to know IT’S ME!”
Have a 1/2 full day!
