Hopefully we're about something that's meaningful and is going to be valuable long-term rather than things that are just fleeting... or worse, activity for activity's sake.
I have been mulling this since he wrote about it. There are many people who will do things to us, either potentially good or potentially bad. It's up to us to determine what they will be. Some people might say harsh words, but if we don't accept the words, we don't have to let them affect our life. At the same time, people can tell us wonderful things about us and if we don't believe them, we can go on believing that we're not enough.
People will say and do all kinds of things to us, but it's up to us to determine how we will respond. Will we be crushed by others? Will we permit others to build us up? Are we willing to admit that we might need to do things differently? If we have admitted it, will we actually change our actions?

I agree. Everyone has meaning and purpose. But our actions are up to us!
It's interesting that you say that. Two weeks ago, @tarazkp wrote about personal responsibility in actions. https://steemit.com/health/@tarazkp/yousavedmyliferemember-vuffwsifhc

Are we willing to act?
Whether we act or not, it is our responsibility! And no one's words can control us without our consent. Life's just a big choice. :)
So beautiful, so clear distinct... Tks.
