Most of life we cannot control. We can control our actions, thoughts, emotions and reactions. However, we have no control over most of what happens to us and other people. Remember to tell yourself the serenity prayer when you feel out of control and/or trying to control people, places and things. Life becomes peaceful when we accept the things we cannot change. When we have the courage to change the things we can, typically ourselves, life becomes more meaningful and magical. And, we simply feel good about ourselves when we have the wisdom to know the difference.
