Relax, lah~

I've read, rolled my eyes, cringed at those bookmarks or magnets that qoute bible verses. Most of them are like, "oh, puhlease...".

But one got stuck to my mind and occasionally, when life seems to spiral out of control, I will think of it. I don't know if it came straight from the holy book or what... but it's one of the few I read that is actually agreeable. It's called the Serenity Prayer.

God grant me courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and wisdom to know the difference.

Most of the time, when I can remember to be guided by this prayer, I think it's probably God's way to grant me the wisdom to know the things I cannot change. I think, we all have that wisdom in us. We all have some kind of God within us. We are just too preoccupied with praying to another God outside to hear the voice inside.

Or I'm just too resigned to the many, many things I believe I can't change. haha... Whatever it is, this is how I keep stress at a manageable level. Works for me. So, I won't analyse it.
