accept and move on

“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be, it’s the way it is. 

The way you cope with it is what makes the difference

Virginia Satir

"It is what it is". I hated that saying for the longest time. To me, it sounded like giving up, and calling it quit. It seemed like admitting the defeat. But lately, the concept has changed. Because I didn't know the whole concept of it, and what comes next. Life is what it is, not what it should be. How true is that!? We are not in charge of things that happen in this life. Most of the things have nothing have to do with me. We often focus on negative and what's lacking, instead of positive aspects and what we've been given. It's not easy to focus on the positive side especially when you are in the rough situation or things are not what you expected. We have to start realizing that we don't get to decide what's happening and what's going to happen. It might not be what you want it to be or what you think it should be, but it's definitely not what could have been. 

"it is what it is" or "Life is what it is" those are not the statement of giving up or admitting the defeat. It is the statement of surrendering to the bigger things. We have to let go of our ego and power to the Universe. We are part of much bigger picture. Whatever it is, if the Universe wants you to accomplish, it will happen. You will fulfill your purpose. Only when you decide to surrender and let go of the control, start seeing the bigger picture. Let's start seeing our wins and positives.  The path has been laid down for us. We need to follow. Nobody can walk your path for you. You have to walk on your own. How to get there, when to get there, that's on you. It is what it is, not what it should be, or what it could have been. It just is what it is and nothing more. How you see it!? that's up to you. 

Love,
