Are you familiar with the Serenity Prayer? It is full of wisdom. Here it is, in case you do not know it:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
(prayer attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr, 1892-1971)

You don’t need to believe in a higher power to take in these words of wisdom. It’s important to have the serenity of acceptance for things that you cannot change. Struggling against something that is unchangeable will only bring you pain and frustration.

You have the ability to stop struggling against things that cannot be changed. Making necessary changes may require a great deal of courage, so make sure you have the support and tools you need.

It’s crucial to be able to distinguish between what can be changed and what cannot. Investing your energy into what is possible is a much better use than struggling with what is impossible.

So, as you go about your day, please remember these words. And, as always, enjoy your journey!
