The Courage to Make the Right Change
The Serenity Prayer has been reformulated in a variety of ways, often to clarify it. For example, The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. Even if the pessimist accepted the wind with serenity, the ship would not be moved in the right direction. It will certainly not get there if we sit by and wait for the wind to change. We do not pray to God to change things but, rather, to give us the courage to make the changes. We may pray for the wind to change, but until it does so, we should adjust the sails.
