Two Opposing Principles

Our life is built upon two opposing principles. 

We have agency. 

We have destiny. 

Our agency allows us to choose our actions. 

Our destiny is the fact that we cannot choose the results or consequences of our actions. 

If we control our actions based on the natural laws and consequences, then the our lives can be meaningful, fulfilled, and crafted in a way that allows us to fulfill our purpose. 

 

Convincing Power

We have the pure power to convince ourselves of anything. 

We can convince ourselves of our strength, or convince ourselves of our weakness. 

We can convince ourselves of our potential, or we can convince ourselves to stop growing.
