grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I feel like the serenity prayer encompasses important parts of living better than anything else I’ve read. Of course it normally starts with “God,”. I don’t expect shit from this God and take responsibility for my life anyways. Tori and I joked about changing it to “Gods of Kobol” or such to insert a sci-fi reference, but I found it loses no meaning and sits better with my just by remove the reference to god altogether.
