You're actually a doer, a mover, shaping your life in any direction you want it to go

"Remind yourself that your life isn’t already written in stone, that you’re not a slave to fate or a little nameless cog in the big machine. You’re actually a doer, a mover, a shaper. You can shape your life in the direction you want it to go."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Impossible Things" (Meditations1)
