Accept the inevitable.

There are some things you simply can't do anything about. However, it's important to be able to discern the difference between inevitable and difficult. For example, success can be difficult, but, regardless of one's circumstances, failure is not inevitable. Accepting the inevitable is not being negative, it's actually positive. What's negative is not being able to ignore the inevitable and move on with your life.

As pastor, author, and educator Charles Swindoll put it, "We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.... I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it."

Accepting the inevitable and focusing on opportunities in your life is virtually guaranteed to lower your stress level.
