Something inspirational:

"If you find you’re here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of these three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear."

  1. It sounds very much like what it says in the Serenity Prayer, which is a lovely prayer to follow. It has taken me a long time to learn about having a strong sense of responsibility for my own actions.

    It's something I need to continue to work on so my life will continue to get better.

    1. I don't know the Serenity Prayer Randy, but I agree that we have choices to make in our lives which are based on us being responsible for ourselves.

      Being responsible should bring about better choices and having better choices should in effect bring more peace into our lives.
