mentally. Third, I concentrate on the problem and see how I can improve the worst
which I am already willing to accept- if I have to.
When I find myself worrying about a thing I cannot change -and do not want to accept-I
stop myself short and repeat this little prayer:
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference."
Since reading this book, I am really experiencing a new and glorious way of life. I am no
longer destroying my health and happiness by anxiety. I can sleep nine hours a night
now. I enjoy my food. A veil has been lifted from me. A door has been opened. I can
now see and enjoy the beauty of the world which surrounds me. I thank God for life now
and for the privilege of living in such a wonderful world.
May I suggest that you also read this book over: keep it by your bed: underscore the
parts that apply to your problems. Study it; use it. For this is not a "reading book" in the
ordinary sense; it is written as a "guidebook"-to a new way of life!
