Quote of the day:

“I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.” -- Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt

Consider:

There's probably not a person on this planet who is completely satisfied with the way they are. Everyone is either "too fat" or "too skinny," "too short" or "too tall," "too average," "too different," or “too” something. And what about those bad habits, weaknesses, and personality quirks that seem to stand in the way of our happiness, our success, and successful relations with others?

In time, most of us realize that one of the keys to happiness is learning to accept certain things about ourselves that we can't change or that don't really matter, and to major on the things that we can change and that do matter.

Someone wisely summed this up in what has come to be known as the Serenity Prayer: "Lord, give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."

Are there things in your life you need the serenity to accept, the courage to change or the wisdom to know the difference?
