This prayer I’m about to go through could get a little self-helpy if and only if we rely on ourselves, fooling ourselves into thinking like Frank Costanza that the words themselves hold power. You can take a look at this short video clip if you want a good laugh.Īnd unless we’re intentional, we are going to go through a less dramatized version of Mr. We all laughed at the scenario because we knew he was helpless in his self-help endeavors. I can still picture Frank Costanza screaming “serenity now” at a bellowing octave, trying to achieve serenity as his eyes were bugging out. If you’re anything like me, you may think of the word serenity and immediately remember Frank Costanza, George Costanza’s zany father from Seinfeld going through a fictional self-help material based on the very real faddish trend of DIY self-help psychology in the 90’s.
