Absolutely MtDoraGuy! But fortunately even that is no reason to hold us back. 
My work with someone we jokingly called the karmadoctor showed me that karma is also a matter of choice. The difficulty is that it is mostly a subconscious choice reinforced by subconscious behavior. It's not easy to change something you don't even know exists. But when you do then it's as easy as quitting any other addiction or habit.
The biggest hurdle are two realizations... "Where do I WANT to go?" and "Is it possible?" The second is irrelevant when you really zoom in on it, because it always is possible to move slightly into a certain direction. Perhaps not all the way right away, but there is always at least one step that can be taken. The first question is the hardest. Most people are clueless. We identify with our deformities (Mental or physical) to the point where we can't even imagine ourselves to be something else.
