If we accept the fact that things can go wrong, we can prepare for them. It's the best offense for a positive outcome.
Become a balanced optimist. Rather than thinking like the defensive pessimist, use your imagination to work for you in creating the best and worst cases. Ask, "In what five ways can I achieve success." Scribble notions as you consider all pathways and rocks in the road of your desired destination.
Preparation enables you to have a variety of responses ready You have choices and do not need to persist with unsuccessful routes. These ideas will move you beyond the emotional reactions of the moment. Your healthy resilience will develop.
