It is what it is

There are two phrases that have helped me achieve peace in the past few days: It is what it is, and All you can do is all you can do.  They have gotten me through some major disappointments and frustrations. I quickly realized things would only get better when I stopped trying to control the situation and instead let life take its course.  Sometimes life doesn’t take us where we wanted to go, but I have high hopes this detour is for a reason and someday I will be thankful for it, and for now I am at peace with that hope.
