"May God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me."

PS If you like the serenity prayer, you might also find some peace in Henry Howard's sixteenth-century poem, 'My Friend, The Things That Do Attain'

It's the first poem on the linked page:

Why the paraphrased version of Reinhold Neibuhr's serenity prayer? Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful prayer. I just did not expect to see it on Qatar Living.

May you find the peace for which you are praying.
