Had some news today that initially struck me as bad. Upon inspection, it is completely outside of my control, so I filed it away as indifferent and did something that was within my control to the best of my ability instead.
This I filed as something good.

Inspired me to look up the Serenity prayer, and I see it was first published as a prayer by Winnifred Crane Wygal in the Santa Cruz Sentinel in 1933:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference
Essence
Like the Serenity Prayer:
“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.”
Zapped!
Love the stoic mindset
