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.
Known as “The prayer of serenity” or “Serenity prayer”, this single prayer has a big impact on the way I think, talk and act.
I first heard it at school (Rashtriya Military School, earlier known as Bangalore Military School). It was read out frequently during the assembly. During the first few days of knowing it, I remember saying this aloud to myself when I was in doubt. Now it has become a silent prayer that runs through my blood shaping my nature and character.
