After recently acting as the universes mouth piece for others, today it threw me a bone. I did not intentionally search for it like ancient artifacts or dinosaur bones, but rather was bombarded and overwhelmed with wisdom.
Sadly it told me any misfortune and failure was my own and not the product of an objective source (ie fate, God smiting me, a curse). Also that the indecision and abandon I applied to such outcomes were unjust and probably made things worse.
Hence, with anything, there are two sides to this coin we must consider.

HEADS: we have the power to direct everything we come into contact with and potentially posses. Practice making your hands do exactly what your brain tells it to do, and think about what you want then literally tell yourself to go and get it. This is a major breakthrough that justifies every addicts doctrine of "I swear I can stop anytime, I just don't want to." Heads tells us, yes you can! Truer words were never spoken, because you are the master of your very own self.
However, you also need to practice being really determined and decisive which is, like anything worth working toward, a tricky discipline to master.

TAILS: Get ready for your liberated self to be cut off at the knees, because Hi! Here comes a massive load of responsibility and realization that you have been living like an ambition paraplegic. Forget the days were you could type FML and receive sympathy for the scornful actions of the unfair universe. Now, with this knowledge, you are the destructive force dampening everything for yourself. That Grey cloud that is constantly hanging around threatening to rain on your parade actually is held by a string. That cute neighbor that still hasn't come knocking on your door with a wet T-shirt asking for a cup of sugar not as a result of fates cruel twists but, just because.
No doubt it takes two to tango, but the moves currently being busted on the dance floor are wayward, out of time and being led by a force that, frankly, could not care less. Take uncertainty by the hand and whisper in its ear everything you want. Maybe get it drunk and take advantage of it, whatever works for you.

All in all, with this discovery that has perhaps been blatently obvious to everyone but me, I fear I do not have the stamina to be the decisive and driven person. It takes a man to face the fact that bad things don't happen to happy people, life sometimes impinges on their constant contentment but the real disasters only happen to those who complain and spend a lot of time at home doing unproductive things.

Try and look at life for what it really is, not a paint by numbers or a game of roulette. The only thing controlled by external fortunes is at what point in time the wheel of fortune turns, but we have the power to guess and letter and win the word, take home a prize and pick up the letter spinner girl.

You know what they say... they're just jealous xx
