Sometimes you have to be where you are

I've recently started using a phrase of my own creation quite frequently. It is this "sometimes you have to be where you are." I've used it in both my personal and professional lives. Through a variety of circumstances we can find ourselves in situations of which we are not overly fond. However, there is no going back to change what led us there. We can only deal with where we are, make plans to move forward, and do our best to make the future better than today.
