"If one thing changes every thing changes..."
That a cue for me. To be willing to get off my butt and do.... Knowing full well from experience that obstacles have become manageable, mountains have been reduced to mole hills, calls have been made and old destructive behavior can be changed.
In a group I'm in, one of the men shared that he added another line to the Serenity Prayer, not that it needed improving but he needed to consciously pray for the willingness to take action. To be willing to take the risk, willing to put in the time, willing to forgive, to be compassionate or to make that amend.
So now he has all of us tacking on the the phrase.
"God grant me the serenity...the courage...the wisdom
...and the willingness to take action.

ReplyDeleteThis was one of your best posts yet. We all should remember if we don't move nothing changes, but if we do, everything does.
