"It is what it is"

Resignation is not failure particularly when it relates to try to fix other people or relationships. We often hold into the dream of things being much different than what they are, but at what price. It is often in an attempt to avoid the emotional reality that life and people are not as we wish they would be. Anxiety is increased by the sense of responsibility in trying to make things different, instead of just accepting that "It is what it is".
