I like these words from the Depeche Mode song called “Perfect”:

        I didn’t choose, I didn’t pull the trigger
        It wasn’t me, I’m just a plain and simple singer

They remind me that I’m here because I’ve chosen to be here, even if it was not made consciously. Yes, it was me. There is no point to regret anything, because I can choose again and again. This day is full of choices and decisions. I can correct things done by mistake in the past. And things that cannot be changed can be improved next time.

I think this is how human freedom works.
