For me, alchemy is an inner monologue. It is the voice in my brain that decides how I cope with life as it happens .
To be honest, i have not met a single person in my lifetime that has been spared from trauma. In fact, most people have experienced similar trauma. What is it that makes one person unable to recover from a traumatic event? What makes another person recover when they endured the same trauma as the first person?
It's simple:
The serenity to accept what they can't change
Courage to change things if they can
Wisdom to know difference.
IMPORTANT ADDENDUM TO OLD CLICHE ;when I can't change things and I'm struggling to Accept things... The only option left is... I change
I LOOK AT PROBLEMS FROM EVERY ANGLE UNTIL I SEE HOW THEY WORK BEST FOR ME.
