Dad always said life is like the Universe. Full of pretty things, full of beautiful, shiny, natural wonders! And miracles!
But Dad, did you forget about the bad things, people, tragedies?
There have always been always will be! Can you change any of those?
I could try to help!
Yes, you can! But the fact is you can’t change most people, places, things, and events. You just think you can. I was the same way.
Ya see that’s the first key to being happy, ACCEPT.
Stream of Consciousness 
I agree with your take. The first step to happiness is to accept a fact.
However, we always start by making changes within ourselves.
