It is what it is.
This is a popular sentiment, used by friends, clients and, sadly, co-workers.
It is also total garbage.
Total and complete garbage.
It is a passive, defeated mentality. It says you are willing to accept whatever comes your way because you don't have the energy or inclination to do anything about it.
Nothing is what it is. It is what you make it.
Your situation is what you make it.
Life is what you make it.
And if you can't change the situation, you can at least change how you view the situation and what it means to you and how you will use it.
In all honesty, if you believe life is what it is, then you aren't ready for therapy because you aren't ready to take control of your life.
If you believe life is what you make it, and you want to make something of yours, contact me. Let's make it something together.
