Hey Brooke,

I am sure you heard of the serenity prayer, which is attributed to American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.
Many 12-steps programs recite it, and it goes like this:

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.

I found some newer versions of it, which I found to be profound reminders for good living:

Grant me the patience to delay gratification when the future payoff will prove to have been worth the wait,
the impatience to gratify now when the future payoff will prove to have been not worth the wait,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me the dedication to stay with the things that will prove to have been worth staying with,
the impatience to not stay with the things that will prove to have been not worth staying with,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me the flexibility to try new things in situations in which changed behavior will pay off,
the steadfastness to be consistent in situations in which changed behavior will not pay off,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me the focus to concentrate on the things that will end up proving significant,
the obliviousness to ignore the things that will end up proving insignificant,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me the honesty to say what will prove to have been helpful,
the tact to not say what will prove to have been unhelpful,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me the selflessness to sacrifice in situations in which the payoffs will prove to have been worth it,
the selfishness to do my own thing in situations in which the payoffs will prove to have been not worth it,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

My own current version is:

Let me accept the day as I find it,
the awareness to welcome all circumstances, thoughts and emotions that may rise for me,
and the space to choose the right response in service of the person I want to be.

Have a beautiful weekend.
