Accept
what cannot be changed
Lord grant me the patience to accept the things I cannot
change….
This is the first critical step in achieving
self-respect—to
accept those aspects of ourselves that we cannot change and to
be at peace with the reality of who we truly are. The first step
in promoting self-respect in ourselves and in our children is to
accept what cannot be changed. Not only accept, though, but to
celebrate all that we and our children have to offer life.
