Events by themselves cannot make you sad. It is your attitude toward those events that make you sad.
To overcome feelings of sadness, become aware of the message your negative thoughts are communicating -- about yourself, about the event, or about life in general. The next step is to change these negative thoughts to more positive ones.
Repeat positive statements to yourself. Your mood will change.
