Hello,
Everyone goes through certain situations everyday, also involving friends, family and random people. So, what are some ways that helps you cope with everyone around you doing the opposite of what you don’t want to do?
One of my favorite quotes I keep in mind “It’s hard enough to change myself, imagine trying to change someone else” I stay on my side of the street because there’s plenty of work to be done there.

If you have the big book 416-417. Acceptance
This sums it up
Acceptance
"And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation – some fact of my life – unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.”
