"The first is that some things are within our control and some are not, and that much of our unhappiness is caused by thinking that we can control things that, in fact, we can’t." You choose to change your mental 'model' and re-frame your perspective (not to be confused with burying your head in the sand). I don't consider myself as being a 'stoic' or evangelize it at all, however this mindset seems quite adequate in many of life's challenges.
