I am supposed to be seeking the serene.
I really hate when someone says to me "It is what it is." Too me that means there is no hope for change. I think that you can change anything if you really want to. Wherever you are must be exactly where you want to be because if it wasn't you would do something different.
Fear keeps me from moving forward. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what I think I do know will happen.
So is "It is what it is", a total form of indifference in my opinion, just a way to reach the serene? Is it just throwing your hands up and giving up? You feel powerless.
But...is my delusion that I feel that I can always change something the real problem? Maybe I should just give up and go with the flow. I don't really do anything to change to what I really want anyway. I just think, dream and hope about it. Change needs action.
My mind needs peace and in that comes the calm. The acceptance of things being what they are is what will get you further to the serene. Stop fighting the inevitable even if you do not like the answers.
I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in. It is what it is.
