“It is what it is” isn’t acceptance. It’s a closed loop.

The phrase you reach for when things go wrong is not neutral, it’s an instruction to your brain about what to look for next.

👀 Did you spot the mistake? Good, so now you’re good  at spotting things; you’re primed to spot them in your use of language. 

You’re welcome 😉
