In any given moment, life has given you only one choice: whether to accept the moment internally or reject it. Both of these have consequences. Accepting brings peace and clarity. Rejecting the moment creates suffering and strengthens the ego. And there is no other choice. 99% of people reject the moment and suffer, and they are ordinary people, including your parents. They are at the mercy of luck. Acceptance and rejection are of the ego. Once you completely surrender, there is no one accepting or rejecting it. Who is accepting or rejecting? Your mind? Both acceptance and rejection swim in Consciousness as mere thoughts. Have you not seen it yet?
