Things you can and cannot change
There are things that you can change, and there are things
that you cannot change. Both have much value.
The things you can change can enable you to create, to
achieve, to express yourself, and to improve the world in
which you live. The things you cannot change give you the
opportunity to grow stronger, to develop real wisdom,
patience, acceptance, flexibility and effectiveness.
There is much you can learn from the things you cannot
change. And there are countless ways to positively apply
that learning toward the things you can change.
The things you cannot change give you a base from which to
work. The things you can change give you an ever-increasing
world of possibilities.
When you accept what you cannot change and find positive
ways to deal with it, you lay the groundwork for success.
When you understand what you can change and find positive
ways to put that change to work, success and achievement are
yours.
You are fortunate to live in a world where there are things
you can change and things you cannot. As each moment
arrives, you're in a position to make the best of it all.
