About This Quote
This quote is very true. Life altering events are often out of our control. No matter how hard you try to predict the future, it is simply impossible to predict with 100% certainty. So, you have to accept that there are things that are beyond our control and not worry about them.
The idea is that you shouldn’t let the uncontrollable things in life be the reason for your unhappiness. Besides, if things are what they are, then they are also what they are right now. There is no use worrying over something that cannot be changed.
