It Is What It Is

I love quotes, the quirkier the better. But, my all time favorite and one I quote often is, ‘It is what it is’. Not only is this true for the moment, but it brings acceptance to the situations at hand that I may not be happy about. In order for me to be content I must realize that whatever is going on at the time is exactly as it is supposed to be. I must accept those things as they are and make the best of whatever I can. When I do this, life is much better.

I can do nothing to change the moment. The past is already etched out and the future is up to me. I can sit back and do nothing or if I am unhappy with the present situation I have the power to change it if only in my little corner of the world.

‘It is what it is’ is simply acceptance which brings contentment and acceptance always brings contentment. To realize and accept that things are exactly as they are supposed to be helps guide my path or next action to be taken. It gives me a clear perspective on things as it ushers in my next move…. and joy is not removed.
