Alcoholics and other addicts (and let's face it, to one degree or another, we are all addicts) are not the only ones who need the serenity prayer:
Everyone who works in an office and has to deal with other people on a regular basis should know this prayer. At sometime and/or someplace, we will be pushed to our limits.
Take a deep breath. Count to 10. Recite the serenity prayer.
And when you go home at night, before you walk through the door to confront your family, recite this prayer to yourself.
Your loved ones did not cause your problems at work. They do not deserve anger and abuse for your difficult day. Rejoice if you have loved ones. Open yourself to love if you do not currently have loved ones.
