No One Can Make Me Change

No one can make me change. No one can stop me from changing. No one really knows how I must change, not even I. Not until I start. I will remember that it only takes a slight shift in direction to begin to change my life. ~ Courage to Change—One Day at a Time in Al‑Anon II (Kindle Locations 82-84).

God grant me the serenity
to change the things I can...
and the wisdom to understand
the only thing I can change is me,
though when I do change I know
others around me may change themselves,
the only thing that they can change.
If I have serenity to change who I can,
and wisdom to trust the One Who can,
I can begin to grow into who I need to be.
