By James Durand
It is what it is. This is a simple statement that can keep things calm, relaxed, and moving forward in many aspects of life.
Some people think it is so simple that is it not worth uttering, but for me it is a great way to keep perspective on what is important and what is not.
Sometimes things just need to happen without my input, without me questioning the reasons, and without me trying to alter the outcome.
