Control can sometimes be an illusion. But sometimes you need illusion to gain control. Fantasy is an easy way to give meaning to the world, to cloak our harsh reality in escapist comfort.

Everything about your life is a choice, everything that you see in your life from your job to your bank account to your spouse to your loneliness to your happiness to all of it. Everything is the result of the choices that you've made. Everything is either a result of what you've choosen to accept or choosen to change so the question that you're going to answer with your life is whether you're somebody who just takes it or whether you're somebody who takes it and does something with it.

— Tom Bilyeu

Your life is 100% exactly a reflection of the choices you made.
