Frustrating though this is (and believe me, I feel it too), this is a great time to practice "Accepting Reality" - a powerful personal growth and happiness-boosting tool.

In fact, I just realised that this week's article is like an action plan for Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer, which in its original form said: "Father, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other."
