The Serenity Prayer
As the original prayer: 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.Subsequently, one may also ask, what you can tolerate you Cannot change?
I agree with what Cesar Millan said: indeed, you cannot change what you tolerate. Nor can you fix what you don't acknowledge. We see this in so many aspects of life in things like our jobs, our relationships and (especially) our health.
Likewise, what to do when you can't change a situation?
