slucajno sam naletila na ovaj tekst, a mislim da je povezan sa jednim od 12 koraka pa mozda pomogne nekome tko se jos bori sa prihvacanjem "postojanja Vise sile"
The Serenity Prayer:"God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,
courage to change the things we can,
and wisdom to know the difference."
God
Saying this word I am admitting the existence of a
Consciousness or
Higher Power that is greater than I.
grant
Saying this second word, I am admitting that this Consciousness or
Higher Power is able to bestow and give to me and to others.
me
I am asking something for myself. Holy books say that I ask sincerely,
it shall be given. It is not wrong to ask for improving myself. For with
the improvement of my character, both I and people around me will be
happier, and my relationships will have a better chance to improve.
serenity
I am asking for calmness, composure and inner peace in my life which
will enable me to transcend my ego, to think straight, and to govern
myself properly.
to accept
I am resigning myself to conditions as they are right now. I am living
in the now, the present moment.
the things
I acknowledge my tragedy, death, suffering, illness, and pain, as part of
my life, neither good nor bad. I accept my humanness and fallibility. I am
accepting my lot in life as it is. Until I have the courage to change any part
of my life I don't like, I must accept it, without doing so grudgingly.
I cannot change
I can't prevent these events or conditions from happening to me or to
others.
the courage
A quality which enables me to deal with the problems and realities of life
without reliance on alcohol or drugs. A determination to stand my ground
and "slug it out" with all issues, pleasant or otherwise, that might return
me to drinking or using. A strength of my spirit to face and handle the
negative. Fearlessness in the practice of faith, humility, and honesty.
to change
In facing these negatives directly and honestly, I am asking for myself and
my life conditions to be different for me. I am taking an active part in this
change.
the things
I am asking for help to make the right decisions. Everything is not the way
I can,
I would like it to be in my life. I must continue to face reality and constantly
work toward my continued growth and progress.
and wisdom,
I am asking for the ability to rise above my ego and form sound judgements
about myself and my life. I then use my ability to ask for guidance from
myself, others, and a Higher Power.
to know the difference
I want to be able to understand clearly truths of fact. I want to see things
differently in my life so that I will be more aware of myself and of others.
I need to sense a definite value in loving over being selfish.
