A + B = C

A (event) + B (attitude) = C (outcome)

Good or bad, if something happens- it happens. It's done. In the books. We can't control it and shouldn't waste our time wishing it hadn't happened.

Our attitude, or reaction to the event, shapes the outcome. Many people get caught in the orbit of a negative event- possessing a pessimistic or victim-like attitude, and thus negatively affecting the outcome.

A motto in certain psychological models states "we think, we feel, we act". If we positively shape our thoughts, everything that follows will lean towards optimism.
