… and if I can’t find the answers, I want to accept what I don’t know or will never know

It all goes back to a prayer or mantra I learned a long time ago in addictions recovery

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference”

There are a lot of old timers and religious people who originally started this with the word ‘God’ but in recent years, it’s been changed by some to allow a less religious connotation. It doesn’t mean anyone is less religious, or less spiritual, or better or worse … it is just an acceptance of things we can’t change, having the courage to change when we should and having the wisdom to know the difference.

It’s a mantra and a saying that I live by.
