This post is inspired by Saahil Sood‘s last week post, where he elaborated on the equation:

🔆 Understanding Luck, Fate, and Destiny – The Prelude to High Agency

🤞 Luck is when chance swings in/against your favour. It is random and immediate.

Example:
↗ Good luck = You find a forgotten ₹500 note in an old pair of jeans.
↘ Bad luck = Your wallet/purse is pickpocketed in the crowded market.

🔮 Fate is the life script written for you. It is the narrative you are born into.

Example:
↗ Good fate = Being born into a family with a strong educational background providing you ample learning opportunities.
↘ Bad fate = Being born in an area with limited access to quality healthcare affecting your well-being.

⏳ Destiny is the ultimate endgame, your life’s purpose.

Example:
↗ Good destiny = Rising from a small town to become a successful entrepreneur, leading to improved living standards for your family and creating jobs for many.
↘ Bad destiny = Despite hard work and honest living, facing a series of unanticipated events that lead to financial hardship.

With this background, let us talk about High Agency – a concept where you, as the torchbearer of your life, navigate through the unpredictable waves of luck, the set stage of fate, and the long road to your destiny.

🔰 What is High Agency?

It is a belief that your actions can influence outcomes despite the external forces of luck and fate. It is a mindset that sees choice in seemingly choiceless situations.

💪 Why High Agency?

Because it empowers you, it transforms you from a passive receiver of life’s whims into an active leader of your journey.

📚 How to Develop High Agency?

1️⃣ Choice Awareness: Recognize you always have a choice.
2️⃣ Informed Decision-Making: Gather data, seek knowledge, and prepare diligently.
3️⃣ Proactive Adaptability: Be ready to pivot and embrace change.
4️⃣ Resilient Optimism: Stay positive and bounce back from setbacks.
5️⃣ Continuous Learning: Keep upgrading your skills and knowledge.

🏆 Benefits of High Agency

➡ Resilience: You are not easily knocked down by life’s curveballs.
➡ Empowerment: You believe in your power to effect change.
➡ Leadership: You inspire others to take charge of their own paths.

Bringing it all together, a person with High Agency doesn’t just leave it up to luck or resign to fate. They shape their destiny, one conscious choice at a time. They create environments where luck is welcomed, fate is acknowledged, but action is king.

🤔 P.S. Food for thought 🤔

Is becoming a High Agency person because of your luck or driven by your fate? And that is the conundrum to take you in the rabbit hole.
