It is what it is!

It seems a new expression has taken root in the lexicon of America, "It is what it is". I have heard this often recently. I have thought about it and realized that it is the only way to look at things. I am guilty of looking at things from my perspective. Unfortunately, my perspective is not always the right one or the true one. I admit I am jaded the way I look at some things. My wife is the most beautiful woman, I do live in the best place, the red sox and patriots are great teams. But now I am trying to see things more clearly. People are jaded too. A store clerk is just a store clerk not the manager. A student is just a student not the teacher. Some of my friends are just friends, nothing more. It's a whole new way of looking at things. It has made me more serene. I try not to overreact now. It is what it is. I can't make things the way I want them to be. I would like to but that now is totally unrealistic. I have to accept things as they are. I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. I know It is what it is can never be It is what I expect.
