It is what it is. I can't change what's happened to me. — © Giles Duley
It is what it is. I can't change what's happened to me.
I do a lot of lectures on survival. I always say you can't change what happened, so have a little wallow, feel very sorry for yourself, and then get up and move forward. You can't change what happened.
One can't change one's life experience, but even if I could, I wouldn't change it because of all the wonderful things that have happened to me.
I have nothing negative to say because what happened to me has happened to many others and I need to always remember that it was not personal what happened to me.
Books change us. Books save us. I know this because it happened to me. Books saved me. So, I do believe through stories we can learn to change, we can learn to empathize and be more connected with the universe and with humanity.
I suspect states are going to realize there's money to be made, and they'll start to change laws so people can distil to sell. It happened with wine, it happened with beer.
My writing is a product of how I would interact with things that have happened to me or things that have not happened to me but have happened to somebody else.
If I were in politics, and if you ever get me in the White House, trust me, there's a big change coming. What happened to America? We lost our roots.
Sure, I had dreams of being a star when I was 18. I could've pushed it, too, but it wouldn't have happened any sooner. I'm lucky. What's happened has happened in spite of me.
I've seen firsthand how books can change people's lives. It happened to me.
You cannot change what has already happened. You can always change the way you respond.
The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.
People are always telling me that change is good. But all that means is that something you didn't want to happen has happened.
Change happened and you thought it was forever, and immediately there were all the enemies of that change making common cause and meeting in the cloakrooms.
You can't change what happened. But you can still change what will happen.
Because no matter what happened, I had the peace of mind of knowing that all of the chatter, the name-calling, the doubting -\-\ all of it was just noise. It did not define me. It didn’t change who I was. And most importantly, it couldn’t hold me back.
Just knowing that there's somebody else out there - that what's happened on this planet has also happened in many other places - that might change our lives in a very subtle way, but it's interesting to know and worth looking for.
