Have You Considered?

Stop to consider the “Serenity (Alcoholics)  Prayer”? It’s not just for AA meetings:

There is a copy of this hanging on the wall of my office---visible every time I’m in there. 

I am not an alcoholic, neither was my Mom, who originally owned the hanging. 

The principles, however, apply to all of us. Some days, life is simply insane.

Consider some of the key words:

Peace: 

Calm; tranquility; quietness; stillness; still; composed; unruffled; serene; relaxed; cool; silent; soft; discreet; unobtrusive; uninterrupted; undisturbed; halcyon; private; intimate

Accept:

Receive; admit; consent; accede; shoulder; believe; admit; acknowledge; understand; consent; permit; grant; acknowledge; real; authentic; valid; genuine

Courage:

Nerve; daring; guts; fearlessness; spirit; lionheartedness; gallantry; boldness; brave; heroism; audacity; bravado; face; brace; steel; prepare

Wisdom:

Understanding; knowledge; sense; insight; perception; astuteness; intelligence; acumen; prudence; good judgment; judiciousness; prudence; suitability

Difference:

Change; alteration; variance; modification; transformation; metamorphosis; consistence; divergence; variance; contrast; modification; adjustment; alternation

Ok. February of the year 2015 is gone, never to return!  New Year’s resolutions are long past and change is hard, really, really HARD. 

Today’s question however is simple, “Will you implement the “Serenity Prayer”?” 

It has been said the best time to implement change was ten years ago. The next best time is today!

Change is not easy; possible - yes, easy - no. But then as my Mom would say, “Nothing in life worth the time, effort, and energy is easy--- profitable yes, easy no!”
