“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
~ Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
When I was carrying my son, the Serenity Prayer was one of the daily prayers that I repeated many times throughout the day. It put me in a place of peace to not stress out over things that were beyond my control.
Dr. Stephen Covey’s book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People teaches the reader to work in his/her Circle of Influence. I find this advice to be similar to the Serenity Prayer. It is the first Habit to develop to become a highly effective person.
The First Habit instructs the reader to work in the area that he/she has the most control. This often is yourself. You have the most control over you. You can make changes in you by the way you view or approach a situation, person or thing.
Trying to change someone else is a difficult thing to do, if they do not want to be changed. Recognizing this earlier in life will save you a lot of headaches in the future. Therein lies wisdom that brings serenity. The Serenity Prayer (whether you are religious or not) is a timeless prayer for most situation in life.
Namaste on Timeless Tuesday.

My girlfriend told me that she went out to water her yard to water the grass. As she turned on the faucet, she looked up to see a beautiful rainbow. She was so happy to see it that it made her smile. She marveled how beautiful God is, as she offered up her thanks to Him for His gift of the rainbow.
You can find God’s treasurers all around you, especially right in your backyard!

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
How many times have someone missed an opportunity to gain knowledge, assistance, or something or someone that may benefit his/her life because he/she didn’t ask? It is generally due to the fear of rejection.
There were instances when I struggled with a problem or needed assistance in a situation, but I hesitated to ask for help. Then, I pushed myself to get pass the fear of the dreaded “no.” I ask of myself: What is the worse that can happen because I got the answer “no.?” Often the answer is not that serious. This gives me the courage to ask. Guess what? The answer is usually “yes.” I found out that I lose more when I don’t ask, than when I do.
Paulo Coelho says it best…when we ask, this universe of ours conspires to make it happen. Go ahead. Ask! Enjoy this Wisdom Wednesday by Living a Diamond Life. Live a Life of Purpose!
