Here’s a cool poll:

Where is your locus of control? ie your sense that your decisions dictate your outcomes. Is it internal? Is it external? If it’s external, how many feet away do you envision it?

Based on my current experience, I see it about 5 feet from me. When I was younger, I felt it was miles away. I felt like life was a big whiffle bat and I was the ball, just waiting for the next hit. Things are better now.
