It Is What You Make It



"I am not what happened to me. 
I am what I choose to become."
(Carl Gustav Jung)

“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.” (Theodore Roosevelt) 




 Are you going through a mid-life crisis?  "IT IS WHAT IT IS"  
Have you been passed over for a promotion?  "IT IS WHAT IT IS"
Is your girlfriend is a nag?  "IT IS WHAT IT IS"
Your parents don't understand you?   "IT IS WHAT IT IS"
You say your husband doesn't listen to you?   "IT IS WHAT IT IS"
Are the people around you are idiots?   "IT IS WHAT IT IS"

Hearing "It is what it is" makes me want to punch someone.  And then when they'd complain, I'd just say, "Sorry, but it is what it is"
