One of the many challenges we have in this workplace and life is the use of time, the constant pressures, the feeling of being out of control of our lives. With that in mind I offer you some quotes on Serenity in Friday Filosophy #2016-16. I have been searching for serenity in my life for many years now. The search continues.
Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity that nothing is.
Thomas Szasz
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books.

A conviction that you are a daughter of God gives you a feeling of comfort in your self-worth. It means that you can find strength in the balm of Christ. It will help you meet the heartaches and challenges with faith and serenity.
James E. Faust.
A garden must contain the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.
Luis Barragan
