Serenity

One of my favorite phrases I like to repeat to myself when I am feeling anxious or depressed is, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. I believe it is important to have the basic understanding of what this phrase means and to practice these principles each day because one of the things that we certainly can not change is the past and so in a perfect world we would simply be able to understand there is no reason to be depressed. Start each day as a clean slate and plan for your future.
