IT IS...WHAT IT IS.

Life:  It is...what it is.  You can't alter...what is.  You can't "make" things change.

If they don't love ya....you can't change that.

If they don't want ya...you can't change that.

If you didn't get that job/promotion...you can't change that.

If people hate you?  You can't change that.


It is...what It is.

Too broke to go out?  It is...what it is.  Sure...you can borrow some money or take out a payday loan.  But..why?  Now..you are in more debt.  Worse off.  More..stressed.  Just to go out and drink and possibly get laid???

You're broke.  It is...what it is.

Seriously????   You can't change the world.  You can't...make it revolve faster or slower.  You can't.....take back...what already is.

Tomorrow is coming....whether you want it to....or not.

You gotta deal with it.

You gotta....face it.

Yesterday...its gone.  So...to dwell on yesterday is kinda a moot point.  What was....was.

cause...right now...

it is...what it..is.

We stress on shit we can't change.  We get the pressure up...over things that...are gonna be no matter how upset or mad or sick...we get....its gonna happen.

You say I'm trippin?  You got control?  You can change things?

Wellllllllllllllllll.....

You are one bad quarter from being Unemployed.

You are one bad wire from having a House fire and being Homeless.

You are one heartbeat from a stroke or heart attack.

And we haven't even touched...on the Outside world.

You are one Stop Light from a Drunk Driver hitting you and changing your life.

You are one...asshole away from being robbed...raped, murdered.

You are one "freak" accident away from having your life changed.

You can't stop these things from happening when they happen.

It is,..what it is.

What's keeping you safe thus far isn't your amazing Genius.

Its the protection of God.

1982.  Xmas Eve.  I'm sitting at a stop light.  I see a Car coming fast behind Me.  Not a fuckin thing I could do...but brace for the impact.

Afterward...I'm freaking out cause My car is totalled.  My Father shows up.  He asks Me if I'm ok.  I'm rambling about the Car.  He asks if "I'm" ok.  I'm upset over the Car.

He tells Me....to forget about the Car.  I can't bring it back.  I can't....change what is.  As long as I am ok....  I can move forward...and soon...I'll have another Car.

Wisdom.  And I didn't see that....for a long while.

I'm rambling now just to say....

If you truly believe in faith.

If you truly beleive God will guide and protect you.

Then....stop worrying over things that YOU CANNOT change.

It is...what it is.

Like I said...

You can't change tomorrow.  Its coming.  But.... You can make tomorrow a productive day.  You can lessen your burdens by dealing with those things that need immediate attention...and the other things???   Get to them...when you can get to them.

They aren't gonna go away.

We are slowly beginning to forget how to LIVE...cause we are chasing wealth and trying to keep up with the Jones.  We want a quick fix.  To...change things instantly.

Each second of Life is precious.  We are missing so much of it....worrying about things....that we can't....change.

Live People.

Love People.

Enjoy Life...People.

Cause when it comes to Life.....

It is....what it is.

and YOU CAN'T...CHANGE THAT.
