With all the action, information, and activity that happens in our everyday lives, it’s easy to believe that nobody truly has control over their own lives.
Change is “forced” upon us and we’ve got no say in the matter.
Achieving our dreams is more a matter of luck and external factors instead of working to get it.
We are simply products of our circumstances and environments.
Right? I once had a friend I’ll call Ned.
We briefly went to the same college after graduation.
Ned had a great affection for movies and was kind of a walking film encyclopedia.
He could cite the cast and crew of almost every major motion picture that came out in the 20th century.
Although he had an enormous interest in acting, he was discouraged by a family who didn’t believe it had any creative talents.
