Focus on what you can control.
Your happiness is not truly dependent on circumstance; it is actually dependent on the rules you keep for yourself. If you have a rule that says you need things to go a certain way for you to be happy, chances are, you will end up unhappy since those things are out of your control and may not go the way you desire.
Let go and allow yourself to be happy no matter what.
