We have the ability to change

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." - Bob Moawad

Our life is our own responsibility, and we alone can choose the path that we with for our life to take. Sure, we may want to blame other people or specific situations for the moments when times are tough, or for our failures, however, that's not going to change the fact that we took the actions that we did or made the decisions that we did, which eventually led us to where we are. We can point our blame finger somewhere else all we want, but at the end of the day we must remember that our life is the product of our own doing, and only we are able to change it.
