Twist on Serenity

When matters go from bad to worse, and each step taken goes in reverse, surrounded by terrain that you can’t traverse, and you feel left behind

When you’ve gone beyond what you can do, and your weakness burns all the way through, to the core of pain deep within you, and you feel out of your mind

That’s when it’s time – to accept the things you cannot change, forget about trying to explain, find the courage to change the things you can, and work around your limitations. Everyone is gifted in a different way, you can’t do everything, and that’s okay. The call of wisdom is to follow peace, that’s when you’ll find serenity.

When life is flowing all up hill, and progress is made only while standing still, with swirling scenery making you ill, and all you can do is plead

When jagged edges cut you to the bone, and there’s no sanctity for you to call your own, and you’re only trying to make it back home, and all you can do is bleed.

That’s when you need – to accept the things you cannot change, forget about trying to explain, find the courage to change the things you can, and work around your limitations. Everyone is gifted in a different way, you can’t do everything, and that’s okay. The call of wisdom is to follow peace, that’s when you’ll find serenity.

When you try to operate outside of your talents and your struggling has thrown your life out of balance. When your repeated failures have you so paralyzed that you can’t see your value with your own eyes. That’s when you need to let go of your false expectations and replace their hold upon you with some truth declarations. If you want to get unstuck just close your eyes and pray for the light of Serenity to show you the way.

Begin today – to accept the things you cannot change, forget about trying to explain, find the courage to change the things you can, and work around your limitations. Everyone is gifted in a different way, you can’t do everything, and that’s okay. The call of wisdom is to follow peace, that’s when you’ll find serenity. Sweet serenity.
