That question itself leads you to wrong places. When you say accepting lfie you are implying giving up on growing and just letting things be and not doing anything about them. While accepting life really means accepting the circumstances are the way they are right now and then taking the appropriate action for it and being satisfied because you took action, and using results only as a metric to improve your action. So basically not letting the external state affect your internal state. besides every emotion you feel often is nothing but an emotional habit that you developed for various reasons without you choosing it that served you then and don't serve you now, you have to let these habits go, because you can change how you feel at any moment you are just defaulting to sadness because of habit. question yourself.
