Fate?

Have you ever thought about how much of your life is or was under your control, and how much of your life you did not bring into being, and is or was the result of fate or circumstances?

Here are some examples:

Marrying your spouse: your control (you decided to marry this person)

Meeting the person who is your spouse: If you met the person who became your spouse as the result of something you did, then yes, that is the result of your action. 

Meeting the person who is your spouse: If you met the person who became your spouse as the result of action someone else took, then no, you were not in control of meeting the person who became your spouse. 

Other examples of things that you didn’t have as much control over as you might think?
