In the same way, you cannot control that you are going to Los Angeles today. You can only intend to go to Los Angeles today and then take the prudence steps to get there. This could include buying a plane ticket, taking an Uber to the airport, getting on the plane, etc but in each one of these steps, something can come up and derail or the plane your expectations or your intent. Therefore you do not have exclusive control, although it may feel like you do.

In the book
The belief that you can make life hold still and conform to your plan is an illusion; chance tears through everything. You cannot control that you will arrive in Los Angeles today — you can only intend Los Angeles, take the prudent steps of buying the ticket and getting to the gate, and then accept that the rest is weather. The harder you grip life in order to control it, the less of it you will ever actually live; instead of flying you will spend the whole trip merely afraid of flying. — Takeoff Into Chaos
