“That’s just the way it is.”

Ugh. Raise your hand if you hate that saying.

“That’s just the way it is.”

What an excuse for mediocrity. A rationale for piss-poor
performance. An acceptance of crap.

Those words are a symbol that you’ve given up, or that you
won’t try harder, or that you just don’t care anymore.

Don’t do it. Don’t use those words. Don’t surrender. Fight
for better.

Ban that statement from your lexicon. When you find yourself
defending the status quo with vague nothingness, instead of searching for a way
to improve whatever “that” is, stop yourself. Slap yourself. Do burpees. Do
handstands. Do something to wake yourself up and pour some oxygen into your
brain and realize “Just because something sucks doesn’t mean it always has
to suck.”

“That’s just the way it is.”

Oh yeah. For now. But that doesn’t mean forever. All of the
world’s improvements came because somebody refused to accept the way things are,
and had the guts to start working on the way things could be …
