Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play is free will. – Jawaharlal Nehru
There are certain things in life that you have no control over. You have no control over the way people act, what they say, or what they do. What you do have control over is how you react to what they say and do. It’s such a huge lesson to learn. I
have people telling me all the time that something happened because so and so said this or did that, and my answer is always the same, “Bull!” That’s what THEY did, focus on what YOU did and how YOU reacted. You are in control of you. You have free will, and you get to make the choices that shape your life.
