I accept that I contribute to the outcome but I can’t control the outcome. Therefore I choose my actions on the basis of how I want to define myself. I don’t do this for any other reason than that I want to define the way in which I give my life meaning. I try and stay true to my self definition in all my actions. For everything that I can’t control I adopt a Stoic attitude of acceptance. Acceptance does not mean resignation. I still act, but I accept that the outcome a not down to just me. Because I act in accordance with my self-definition, and because I try to adopt an attitude of acceptance, I can sleep at nights. Mostly.

That’s not very specific, but I hope it helps you in some way.
