Question 68

When has your life dramatically changed as the result of some seemingly random external influence? How much do you feel in control of the course of your life?

I really can't think of anything extreme enough to call it dramatically changing my life as a result of it.  I think that, to an extent, we are each a product of our environment, but it is easy to argue that our reactions to that environment are what define us. I guess it's the combination of both, external elements provide obstacles but how we overcome them is what we control. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I control me not what happens to me, so how I react is what I will focus on.
