The Serenity Prayer contains a powerful timeless message that mixes several qualities. Note that courage and wisdom are part of the mix. These are qualities that we strive for in our hectic daily lives. I believe achieving this requires giving yourself that quiet space at least two times per week.

Even if it is just a half hour each. It’s like working out a muscle. The more you do it, the easier it gets to be in stillness and quiet. How much time do you spend each week in silence? And if not, what steps do you think you can take to at least squeeze some time in?
