The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we have a higher degree of control over our lives, we tend to feel a greater sense of responsibility for the outcomes we achieve. If we are in charge of our own decisions and actions, we understand that we have the power to shape our own success or failure. This sense of responsibility emerges from the recognition that we have the ability to influence the direction of our lives and that our choices play a significant role in determining our outcomes.

Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourse

Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourselves are bitter and dark. And we deem her empty and unprofitable, but only when the soul goes wandering in desolate places, and the heart is drunken with overmindfulness of self.Life is deep and high and distant; and though only your vast vision can reach even her feet, yet she is near; and though only the breath of your breath reaches her heart, the shadow of your shadow crosses her face, and the echo of your faintest cry becomes a spring and an autumn in her breast.And life is veiled and hidden, even as your greater self is hidden and veiled. Yet when Life speaks, all the winds become words; and when she speaks again, the smiles upon your lips and the tears in your eyes turn also into words. When she sings, the deaf hear and are held; and when she comes walking, the sightless behold her and are amazed and follow her in wonder and astonishment.
