Tip of the Day
“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.”
You've seen and heard it a million times, usually in reference to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Whatever your religion or philosophy, think about whether you can adopt this as a liberating motto.
Don't beat yourself up over “failings” that are part of your innate character. They aren't failings. They're you in all your glory! Love yourself the way you are. Learn life hacks to circumvent issues that your quirks and personality traits may cause. And move on, accepting the things you can't change.
