If your distress has some external cause, it is not the thing itself that troubles you, but your own judgement of it - and you can erase this immediately. If it is something in your attitude that distresses you, no one stops you correcting your view. So too if you are distressed at not achieving some action you think salutary, why not carry on rather than fret?
'But there's an obstacle in the way too solid to move.'
No cause for distress, then, since the reason for failure does not lie with you.
'But life is not worth living I fail this.'
Well then, you must depart this life as gracious in death as one who does achieve purpose, and at peace, too, with those who stood in your way.
