    noiz viol8ion blog #454 – Your Plan vs God’s Plan

    There is often a gap between where I want my life to go and where it actually goes. I often wonder if I am control or if there is so much going on that it is too much to control. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. I can control certain things and something I can’t. Knowing this is stressful because there are certain things in life you just have to accept. Everything will not go exactly as planned. We share this world with 8 billion other people who do not think or act the same. There could be a lot more chaos than there actually is. Be present and remind yourself of the Serenity Prayer.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

    courage to change the things I can,

    and wisdom to know the difference.

  • Blog #111 – The World is Constant but You Are Not

    The external world is what it is. The sun rises every morning and sets every night. The season are always the same. Summer is after Spring and before Fall which is followed by winter. There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week and 365 days in a year. This has been constant for as far back as humans have existed. Things are what they are and there is nothing you can do to change things or change people.

    The only thing we can change is our own perception of how we see things. We can change the meaning we give things. We can change our attitude. We can change how we use our body. We can change what we focus on. Change any of these things and you will get different results out of life. Your outcomes will improve if you improve.

    The Serenity Prayer

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

    Courage to change the things I can,

    And wisdom to know the difference.
