High agency is about actively going after what you want without waiting for the circumstances to be perfect.
High agency people can overcome adverse conditions by taking bold actions to change their reality. They come to terms with the hand they’re dealt and focus on what they can control: their actions.
When you’re told that something is impossible, is that the end of the conversation, or does that start a second dialogue in your mind, how to get around whoever it is that’s just told you that you can’t do something? So, how am I going to get past this bouncer who told me that I can’t come into this nightclub? How am I going to start a business when my credit is terrible and I have no experience?
You must learn to proceed without certainty.
High-agency people assume responsibility for themselves and learn to get things done.
My definition of agency is your ability to edit the world. — Ben James
