Things I've had to learn to get closer to serenity:

Not to expect life to be "fair." If everything went the way that is "good" for everyone, life would be mundane. With destruction and loss comes construction and connection.

Not to expect that people to react a certain way. Without the random nature of humans, there would be no comedy.

Not to assume that people will harm me. Not to expect that people won't.

Don't take it personally. Everyone is the star of their own movie, and their opinions are usually a reflection of their selves, not others.

I can't excel at everything. It's ridiculous to expect myself to be a master of every thing I attempt. Skill comes with repetition, and everyone has their own natural talents.

The way to conquer a fear is to face the very thing that is scary. You won't magically move forward in life "once you overcome a debilitating fear." You move forward in life when you conquer that fear.
