Idiot: Life Stories from the Creator of Help Helen Smash

by Laura Clery

God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.

I can’t change my past. I’m allowed to be mad about these things, but I can also work to let them go. I can release the resentment and forgive.

Something to live by

Trust God, clean house, help others. Every day.

Amen

I believe that people can change. If they have the willingness, if they see a need within themselves, they can reach down within and change. I hate when people use the phrase “you are who you are” as an excuse to let themselves be less than the person they could be.
