I Agree that most people want the best life possible...so leading themselves towards it is required.
But some do not want to believe that they are in control of their success or failure even though they do want the best life for themselves- they rather blame others for the way their life is. Or is this different from fear of accountability for leading themselves to failure (i.e. a person can lead themselves in negative directions) if things do not go well?
You're right, some believe themselves out of control, but I think that's because being in control takes work and effort, ownership and discipline...and they're lazy and feel entitled to something for nothing. Generally speaking I mean.
