Polish serenity

Yesterday I ran across the following mashup by Amy Swearer of a Polish proverb and the Serenity Prayer.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept when it’s no longer my circus,
the courage to control the monkeys that are still mine,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

The proverb is “Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy,” literally “Not my circus, not my monkeys”.
