If you believe in karma
It is not about blaming your karma, but accepting your karma and changing it.

The fault always lies in yourself
You cannot always blame others for the mistakes you make or for every mishap that happened. Everything happens for a reason; be it your karma, destiny or fate. If something wrong happens, don't start blaming others. Think of what you had done wrong. Accept and change yourself for you cannot change others. Therefore a change in yourself could change the situation.

Take this instance that your boss always picks out the mistakes from your assignments. Some might be thinking, "That boss has a nasty character. Why does he always pick on me?". The boss may really have a nasty character, but what can you do? You cannot change him, so you can only change yourself.

Why not look at it in another perspective? "I haven't given my full attention to that assignment." Accept the mistakes made and improve!

The water and the stirrer
A glass of clear water contains certain powder. The powder settles down on the bottom of the glass. The water is still clear.

What happens when the water is stirred?
It becomes cloudy or "dirty".

Similarly, you are the clear water and in yourself, contains some "powder". The stirrer only acts as an external factor which affects the "clarity" in you and makes you realise what you have in yourself. But what can you do when the stirrer stirs the water? Can you change the stirrer?

NO.

You can only let the particles settle down or dissolve in you.

In conclusion, we should not just blame everything on your karma, fate or destiny. We should accept them and change the bad points. Of course, there are good ones too!
