If you are unhappy, you better check if one or all of these is lacking:
Tapas (penance)
Vairagya (dispassion)
Sharanagati (surrender)
Tapas is agreeing with the moment, total acceptance of all pleasant or unpleasant situations.
Vairagya means I want nothing and I am nothing.
Sharanagati is I am here for you, for your joy.
If you are grumbling, then these are lacking. When you accept the situation, when you take it as tapas, you cannot grumble; when you come from a state of dispassion ( I don't want anything), you don't grumble; and if you are surrendered, you will have no complaints.
If you don't do it willingly, you will do it later in desperation.
First you will say, "Nothing can be done." Then later in anger and desperation you will say, " I give up, I want nothing, I have no choice--to hell with it!"
All these three--penance, dispassion, and surrender--they purify your mind and uplift you in joy.
