Agency
It seems difficult to teach other that they have agency, except to allow them to fight through something.
Once they understand they can improve and grow, a new possibility is unlocked.
This understanding can be transferred, and they use agency in other realms of their life.
As a challenge, think about the things you don’t think you have control over.

Do some research, ask for help, and fight to prove that you can change.
Realize that your choices direct your life, and you can make it what you want it to be.
