I can say it's not always a matter of choosing to 'not think about it' or 'be happy' with it. I went from shoulder-length hair to short hair for the sake of my "career," and after some years, realized I hated it. Every minute of it.
So I made the decision, and I suffered through the awkward in-between stage, and I grew my hair back out. It was hard, nobody liked my hair while it was too long to be short and too short to be long. My wife criticized it, my kid criticized it, my friends gave me grief. Then it was long again, and that's that.
