John O’Leary on the Wisdom of the Serenity Prayer

Thought Leader: John O’Leary
September 23, 2026

From global uncertainty and financial pressures to challenges involving work, family, loss, and everyday life, stress can easily become consuming. In a recent episode of the Live Inspired Podcast, WWSG speaker John O’Leary reflects on a simple question: How do we move forward when so much feels beyond our control?

O’Leary turns to the Serenity Prayer, which he first encountered growing up and says he has come to understand more deeply with time. He explores the freedom that can come from distinguishing between what we can change and what we cannot—and then choosing where to direct our energy, courage, and attention. Rather than eliminating life’s difficulties, O’Leary encourages listeners to approach them with greater perspective and focus on the actions that remain within their control.

A bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and host of the Live Inspired Podcast, John O’Leary brings audiences a powerful perspective on resilience, purpose, leadership, and living intentionally. Drawing from his own extraordinary journey and the lessons he has gathered along the way, O’Leary challenges audiences to recognize what matters most and take meaningful action in their own lives.
