accept the things I cannot change, have courage to change the things I can and have the wisdom to know the difference

I’ve been told that I ‘should be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want to’ by someone who I trust more than anyone. Because of their value to me, I’ll never forget it.

A few year’s ago, I found this magazine ad which was a black and white picture of a girl, and her hair was all blown in her face, and there was a quote that said, “I wish people would quit telling me I can do anything I want. I never thought I couldn’t.” You can take it as sarcasm, or as a great attitude. I chose the attitude.

For me, it’s not about accepting. Its about deciding. Deciding between what I want, what I need, and what will not let me down.

I need a god damn crystal ball.

Choices are overwhelming. Take them one at a time. Most importantly – do not ignore values.
