God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
or
An alternate translation is found in Chapter 11 of the "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions", a book published by AA Services (Alcoholics Anonymous).
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace;
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Amen.

God, I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always!
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 63

"I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And, gosh darn it, people like me!" - Stuart Smalley.
If it's good enough for Michael Jordan, it's good enough for The Dude... =P
But in all seriousness, I have found that when things start going arwy and you need help centering yourself and regain focus, just remember: "Let it go." Worry about what you can control, relax and try again.
Hope it helps, and helps you laugh.
Have a good one!
The Dude.

Happiness is the absence of frustration. Contentment is being ok with the level of frustration you have.
