It varies day to day, but there's no hiding it. Accepting that is kind of a big one. Trying hard to not stutter actually makes me stutter worse. When I use to meet new people I'd put a strong emphasis on not stuttering in the hopes of somehow hiding it from this new person. Now I just accept that is not a possibility and it takes a lot of pressure off me. I agree with the blessing part of your statement. I'm sure my work ethic and overall outlook on life would not be as strong as they are if I didn't have to put in extra work.
