It is what it is

“Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.”
Robert Collier
Things don't always happen the way we would like or believe they will.
What's the old adage,man plans and God laughs?
Lately that seems to be the case more often than not.
It seems on a daily basis, the news I get is not what I was hoping for.
A back to work date?
Not exactly what we once anticipated.
Income for some of us?
Not exactly what we had planned on.
Access to basic necessities?
A bit more challenging than anticipated.
Susan's biopsy results?
Not exactly the clean bill of health we were hoping for.
Course of action around this?
Again, altered given the current climate.
In the end,it is what it is.
Doris Day popularized a song in 1956 Que Sera Sera,.....whatever will be will be.
To me, that's just a little to lais se faire for me.
It's just not in me to let things just happen.
It is what it is affords me the opportunity to deal with whatever "it" is.
There is a huge difference. I can be proactive to it is what it is as opposed to que sera sera.
Being proactive affords me the opportunity to have an impact on my life instead of being impacted by life.

E.R.O.- Event- Response-Outcome
You can't control the events of your life.
You can control your response to those events which then changes the outcome.
It is what it is...as it will always be.

Here's today's Song of the Day:
