Acceptance

“Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,the courage to change the things I can, andthe wisdom to know the difference.” – Saint Francis of Assisi
A dear friend has told me a few times that a lot of things in this life can be difficult and can hurt; but once we learn to accept certain things, they begin to become easier to deal with.
Apparently, Saint Francis of Assisi also has a similar thought in mind. He takes it further though and adds the importance of courage to change the things that can be changed and the importance of wisdom to differentiate when to accept things and when to fight for something.
I sure wish that I had some of that wisdom, but I guess that only comes with age, experience, and a certain approach towards life.
