When we experience stressors in our personal life, all our energy goes towards us. This distracts us from the greater issues on our planet, in our country and closer to home in our community. I like to apply the serenity prayer to both, the inner and the outer.
There is much to be done in our inner realm, changing what we can about our selves and our circumstances. This may motivate us to effect change in the outer realm, although there may be much we need to accept. Let stress grow your serenity muscle as you wisely learn the difference between what we can and cannot change.
What can you change in the inner/ in the outer? What must you accept in the inner/outer? Ki to Happiness grows wiser and more serene as she knows the difference.
