The second indicator on the annual spiritual wellness check-up is wisdom. Wisdom is knowing what you can change and what you can’t.
This idea first showed up in the philosophy of Epictetus who was the teacher of Marcus Aurelius who writes about it in his Meditations. It is known today as the Serenity Prayer.
God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
To what extent do I exercise the wisdom to change what I can and accept the things I can’t and strive to tell the difference?
Put a hash mark on your level of wisdom.
