"It is what it is," used to be an expression I found troubling. It felt like someone was trying to state something obvious, while still being really vague.
But as I've gotten older I've grown to appreciate what it means and realize it's more nuanced than it may first seem.
"It is what it is," means exactly that. "What is." Not, what it was, what it could have been, or even what it will be.
First dealing with the present moment allows you to take accountability of the reality of the current situation then decide how you want to proceed.
It's a good anchor and keeps you from drifting back to what you could have done differently, which no longer matters. It's all about what you can do now.
