We make choices in life that lead to reactions!. If you act on something, there will always be an outcome!.
If you meditate on your choice prior to taking action, presuming our choices are a combination of: the past (our psychology and the way our life has come to be due to circumstances or events) the present (our current world-view), some forsight into the future, or premeditation will probably lead to the goals we set for ourselves!.
I do believe we have much control, but that we must first reach a level of awareness we are oftentimes closed to for various reasons!.
Afterall, who chooses for you!? Hopefully, it is you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is true that at the moment we are vulnerable to danger and harm, we are vulnerable to ageing, sickness, and eventually death, all due to our being trapped in samsara-the state of uncontrolled existence that is a reflection of our own uncontrolled minds!. We are vulnerable to all the mental and physical pain that arises from an uncontrolled mind-such as the pains that come from the delusions of attachment, anger, and ignorance!. We can choose to live in denial of this and thereby give up what control we have, or we can choose to recognize this vulnerability, recognize that we are in danger, and then find a way to avert the danger by removing the actual causes of all fear (the equivalent of the cigarettes)-the delusions and negative, unskilful actions motivated by those delusions!. In this way we gain control, and if we are in control we have no cause for fear!.

I guess it depends on what one believes!. Like the Hinduism and Buddhism way, we have our Dharma and our Karma and by following our Dharma, which is our "duty", we create good Karma and that will give us good things in the end!.

I believe that there are pieces of our destiny that are set in stone but I also believe that we make our own destiny, I suppose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Reality is responsive to consciousness, so transcending the conditioned ego identity and returning to your authentic Self is the only process that guarantees you'll fulfill your innate passion and purpose (destiny)!.

Enlightenment (Self-knowledge) is the key!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
