Unwillingness has to be replaced by willingness, because willingness is part of readiness, without which learning cannot occur. ~ Wapnick, Kenneth. Absence from Felicity : The Story of Helen Schucman and Her Scribing of A Course in Miracles.
When it’s the wording I need
my Serenity Prayer includes
an amendment of, “…and
the willingness to know the difference.”
I’m certainly aware the words
Reinhold Niebuhr wrote
seek the wisdom to know the difference
but I also know me and that wisdom
may be a given, I just don’t like it,
choose not to seek it.
In much the same way
I like this statement, that
Unwillingness has to be replaced
