IMO, the healthier coping mechanism is to realize that the path you take in life will never be the most optimal. We all make mistakes, and if all we care about is extrinsic achievement, we'll be either steeped in regret (or perhaps, blissfully ignorant). Instead of being outcome dependent, try to value things that are by nature, intrinsic.
