Down with "It is what it is"

I've been in the "It is what it is" camp for a few years. But no more! What a cop-out; if you don't like the way it is, then change it!

Roadblocks

A friend of mine just proposed an idea to her group and it failed because of too many roadblocks. "I don't fight roadblocks," she said.

Any project you attempt will encounter roadblocks. Push them over, go around them, knock 'em down, but keep going!
