“God, 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.”
Metua likes this quote as it helps her to keep life in perspective, what's within her control and what isn't. Being clear about that helps to be calm in the face of adversity.
