If the future were not a matter of time but of choices? / myLot

The idea that the future is determined by our choices rather than the simple passage of time opens the door to intriguing reflections on individual responsibility and the ability to shape our lives. But what I wonder is: 'Does the perspective that the future is guided by our choices emphasize the power of self-determination?'

Yes I think it does. What we do today will be the results of tomorrow. Although different circumstances arise that will change the course of the future, what you do today will reasonably determine your future.

You've expressed a profound truth. Indeed, the actions we take today shape the outcomes of tomorrow. While unforeseen circumstances can introduce changes, the choices we make now significantly influence our future. It's a reminder of the power we hold in the present to sculpt the path ahead.
