“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.”
— Reinhold Niebuhr

It seems to me that serenity may better be realized if one was ever to really know what things he could change? Not knowing the difference between what one can change or just needs to accept is certainly not serenity. .....................Accepting, and perhaps knowing what to accept,still leaves the things that can be changed possibly unfinished or ignored.
What matters is knowing which things matter................?
Does making "changes" matter more than "accepting things as unchanged"?
