I think it was Saint Francis of Assisi who said

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

This is so beautiful! Yet, I would change it a little bit to make it perfect (though in this I will spoil its beauty):

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept anything, the humility to let go things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

You didn't

I don't think you spoiled the beauty. So correct.

As we are creating our reality, I think that we can change anything, if we really wholeheartedly want. Therefore, I would further change it to:

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept anything, the humility to let go things I don't truly need to change, the courage to change the things I truly want to change, and the wisdom to know the difference.
