When I was a child there was a Framed copy of the Serenity Prayer, which read:
God, give us grace to accept
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
that can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Sometimes in life, things happen, that bring to you limitations. You can spend a lot of time fretting over those things or you can accept them and move on. During the financial crisis we experienced, I had some new found limitations. Those limitations will give me direction and purpose if I allow them to.
When water is placed in a glass. The glass provides limitations. Those limitations define the purpose and direction of the water and make it useful. Without those limitations the water would run into the floor and be wasted, as the water prefers no limitations as it seeks the path of least resistance.
