Wow, thanks for all the great replies.
Steve's recent blog about 'Life Sucks, Then You Die' helped me with this. It really clarified the issue for me. I have a choice. I can either give up and believe that I have no control over my life, or I can step up and take control of my life. What if I am really the one who has complete control of my life and I'm just sitting around with my hands in my pockets? If I don't actually have any control, I guess that will become obvious pretty quickly once I start trying to make changes. But like Steve says, you just have to try something for awhile and see what kind of results you get. So I'm going to take charge and do what I can to make my life better instead of waiting for the secrets of the universe to be handed to me on a silver platter.
