All my failures and successes are a combination of my choices and a bit of good or bad dumb luck. If something is wrong with my life, it's my responsibility to take steps to fix it. If I need help, I seek out help from a source that has a proven track record and demonstrable expertise. Many observable and predictable things are more powerful than I, and I have a limited amount of actual control over things outside of my own choices. And at that, some philosophers would argue that I have no control over my own choices either. However, I'll ignore them, until they can actually demonstrate they know what they are talking about.
