Often times we believe we are stuck with the hand that life dealt us. While true that we do not have absolute control over what happens to us at all times, we have full control of the choices we make, be it as a response to events or as steps taken in pursuit of our own lives. Life is not about absolutes. We make bad choices. We cannot be afraid to make mistakes. More importantly, we cannot fear admitting and correcting them. There is no shame in it, and there is nothing wrong with changing course.
