Offline"It is what it is",I hate that expression! And everone seems to use it. Got fired from your job? It is what it is. Lost your savings? It is what it is.Put on 50 pounds? It is what it is. I/'m here to till you.: Stop saying "it is what it is." The expresion is a mantra for losers. When you say "it is what it is" you are saying, " I failed and it's not my fault; it is what it is." If you fail, own it. Life is what you make it. Nothing simplly "is what it is." Be honest with yourself. if you thought things wasn't going well didn't try your hardest. You gave up mentally, so you gave up physically." so you stopped pushing youself. When you know why you failed, you can figure out what to do next time. For instance, if I have a bad day I never say, "It is what it is. I own it. A bad day means I didn't prepare as well as I could have. It's my fault. It's alway's my fault-that way I am in control. We need to learn that we have more control that life isn't just what it is, but rather it's what we make it. When you fail, figure out why. don't give up Fear will never leave nerves will alway be on edge.But we get to ignore the feelings and keep pushing. It's the confidence that comes from knowing that you are in control when you own your behavior
Keep on pushing

Own your mistakes, learn from them and move forward!!!!
very well said. in my concrete resurfacing business there are many characteristics of concrete that are out of my control. i always do my best, but i have had to say it. "it is what it is" and i hate it. i always feel incompetant when that happens. real estate doesn't have to be like that however. we can change our financial destiny. we can change the economy in our homes first and other homes next. we. here on this site. can change the economy in this country, it's up to us. we can't depend on government. we have to own our destiny. keep moving forward, rob

I had a boss say that to me one time. It is what it is. Such a downer. That's why I want to retire from my JOB and do REI full-time.
Have a Merry Christmas!
