This is how it works for me in my life...

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

When I practice it, it never fails.

Just sayin...

I think it's just a way to soften the blow when things don't turn out the way we want. Maybe people use it to justify behavior, be it our own or someone else's.

It's basically a fatalist philosophy where everything is left to fate and nothing we do will change that. The outcome is predetermined. End of story.

But I really believe we are much bigger than that. I feel we live from our heart. It drives us forward; by it we set the course for our lives. We cannot merely drift through life and expect great things to happen. We must initiate the factors that will bring our dreams into reality.

So, I guess if you don't care what happens, then just let things happen. But, if you want something, really, truly, deeply want something, then you gotta go for it with all your heart.

I never say "Whatever's meant to be will be" ...because it denotes a measure of faith in destiny/fate that I don't have; that our lives are already written somewhere and we have no control over what happens to us.

I think we all control our own destinies by the choices we make in our lives. For me, it's not a matter of "Whatever's meant to be will be" ...it's more a case of "It Is What It Is".
