How many times have you either said or heard someone else say "It is what it is"? I'm guessing that would equal too many times to count! I am not particularly fond of this expression because to me it sounds a lot like giving up. It is what it is, huh? Why? Does it have to be? Absolutely not!
If there is something going on in your life that you cannot control, does that mean that you should just be unhappy about it and not do anything to change it? If you are in a situation that you cannot control, do you know what you can control...your attitude and view of the situation. You have the power to control how you feel about it and if you are going to let it get you down.
Some people very close to me are dealing with a lot of challenging situations at the moment. It is clear that they feel very hopeless and frustrated. You can see it in their eyes how desperate they are to find comfort and faith, but they cannot seem to find it anywhere. The words "it is what it is" are a constant in their daily conversations. The difference between some of these individuals is that some say this sentence with sorrow while others say it with a look to the future. You can see it in their face that while they are not exactly content about their current situation, they know that they will move past it and things will ultimately improve.
"It is what it is" can turn into "It is what I create it to be" all with a slight change of attitude. The next time you catch yourself saying this oh so common statement, stop yourself and replace those words with those more postive and powerful. Instead of giving up, move forward, change your outlook and start to create a vision that is so perfect you can't help but smile.
Share Your Fabulousness with the World!
