From Carnegie's How to Stop Worrying and Start Living comes a moral that's pacified people for ages.
A fierce, burning windstorm seared the Sahara desert for days. An American lived among the Muslims. His eyes burned constantly. His throat was parched. His teeth were full of grit. His sanity teetered. The Muslims' did not. You see, many practicing Muslims are fatalists. They believe that all which happens is God's will. Their mantra is "Mektoub," which means "It is written."
As we learn to accept the uncontrollable tolls of life, we can more calmly focus upon the treasures and opportunities that remain.
