"Having a belief in your own power to change things is incredibly important. In the psychology literature, we call this an internal versus an external locus of control. We know that this simple differentiation, this dichotomy of people who believe that their lives are controlled by circumstances outside themselves versus people who believe that their circumstances are controlled by things inside themselves, exists. So it's personal agency versus doing whatever the world has given you. Fate versus agency. People who believe in agency are better off in almost every conceivable metric. They live longer, healthier, more connected, and more productive lives by believing in their agency even when it's not there." - Nir Eyal
