You don't, because you don't know how long the rest of your life will be, and even more importantly, you are thinking of feeling bad as something that "happens to you." As long as you are considering that you are the victim of outside forces, then you are completely and utterly helpless.
As carenkh mentioned, responsibility is the ticket.
