When I am troubled about outcomes it is so easy to think
that ruminating about solutions will provide answers to my problems. I know that my preoccupation and concern is
centered in a belief that I can somehow control or manipulate to what I want. There are times when I can
influence things, but many times situations are beyond my control. I only end up making myself anxious, tense, frustrated,
and angry.
In moments such as these, I am reminded that the
Serenity Prayer expresses what I most need.
I want to accept the things I cannot change and trust my life is
unfolding to my benefit. I believe that
I do have the courage to change the things I can. And I pray that I have the wisdom to know the
difference. Today, I choose to open my heart and let go of the
need to control outcomes. 
Very insightful and yet very hard to do,
