It is true that you may not be able to determine some happenings and the events of your life but you have a responsibility to choose how to respond to them. More often than not, it is not the events themselves that determine the outcome of your life but the way you have responded to the events. The way and manner you want your future to look like, you have the responsibility to take the required steps that will lead to that future. The truth is that you only have a choice about what your action will be, but you do not have a choice of what the results and consequences will be. Yes, everyone's action will definitely come with an attached consequence, so it is your responsibility to undertake the right action.

Everyone has a freewill of choice given to them but how you use your own is absolutely dependent on you but you should note that the choices will definitely come with results. So if you will not like to have a particular result or you will be unwilling to bear the consequences of an action, then you have a responsibility to avoid such action. Imagine a student that cannot stand failing a course but yet, he will not study his books. What magic does he want to perform to make him to pass? Most of what people experience are direct results of actions of the past.
When a farmer plants a particular seed during the planting season, when the harvest comes, he will harvest the fruits in the order of the seeds. That is, if he planted rice, then he will harvest rice and not beans. He only has a choice of the seeds to plant, not the fruits to harvest, because the fruits will be dependent on, and determined by the seeds. In the same way, your choice only stops in your actions and does not cover the results of the actions. The results and consequences of your actions are entirely determined by the actions themselves.
The power that in embedded in actions are so much that an action can alter someone's life's course permanently. Once an action goes forth, it will be almost impossible to recall such actions because they are like bullets that have been fired. The only thing is to prepare to brace for the result. This is why the actions that have been taken in the past cannot be edited because they are already gone, but it does not deny the fact that the effects may still be felt in the present. However, there is also a chance to determine the kind of result that you want to have in the future by taking responsibility to perform the right actions today.

There is something that should act as a guide to your actions: before you undertake any action, you have to first involve your mind. Think about the immediate and the long-term result of that particular action and know if you will gladly and excitedly welcome it. A friend, during one of our chats sometimes ago, made a particular statement that made so much meaning to me, he said:
Choices may be free, but the results of the choices will definitely come with a price.
If you keep in mind that the choices you make obviously have results, you will guide yourself properly through the choices you make. Do not make choices just based on the present moment but also try to bring the future into perspective in your choices. The truth is that a right and positive choice will change the future for the good but a negative choice will be the opposite. So choose wisely.
