Iterations

Do you know the Serenity prayer? Even if you don’t know it by name, you’ve likely heard it. It goes:“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.”Originally written as part of a sermon in the 1930s by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, the Serenity prayer has been adopted by a number of twelve-step programs, most notably Alcoholics Anonymous.Regardless of whether or not you are religious or part of a twelve-step program, the core of the Serenity prayer - change and acceptance - are ideas that virtually everyone struggles with at one point or another. I know I do.If you enjoy listening to Iterations, please consider leaving a review or a rating on iTunes to help others discover the show.LINKSRegina GimenezThe Price of EverythingUnder the (Ray) Gun: Chris AshworthMusic in this episode: The Wrong Way (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0
