The will
It is extremely hard to accept the sweet will of God. BhaaNa (the will of god) is what makes a person a Gursikh, whether one can accept everything as his will is a great test of God. Everything that happens to us in this life is a result of our past actions, Guru Nanak Dev Ji himself says in Siri Japjee Sahib - 'Hukamai andhar sabh Ko Bahar Hukam Naa Koe' - No one is outsideVahigurus will, everthing happens because he does it. The hard part is accepting it and moving on.
When Daas' parents didn't let Daas ever go to Sat sang Daas used to cry and argue with them, but Daas realised that we should become Bhagats and Jap Naam, then Naam will lead us wherever we desire. It so happened that Daas wanted to go to Sat Sangat one day and Daas' parents rejected, instead of arguing Daas just accepted it and did Ardaas to Mahaaraj to help me accept it - it really did ache my heart not to be in the midst of the holy.
Accepting BhaaNaa makes one stronger and helps us to Jap Naam.

You have a good point. However, sometimes we must struggle against some restraint, and by struggling against it we can change things. Hypothetically, a person whose parents did not allow him to go to satsang could argue with them, convince them, and then eventually be allowed to go.
It's tricky to know when to simply accept and when to fight for change. I think there's a line in the Desiderata about that...
Hoga vo hi jo razaey khudaey hoga!
