“I’m not saying that the choices you make are meaningless. You’re missing the point entirely,” Alexis said. “The choices you make absolutely matter. Put it this way: the major events in your life are predetermined, but the way you reach those events, the paths that you take? Those are shaped by your choices. Maybe your destiny is to become a doctor someday, Geoffrey, but the choices you make now determine whether it’s going to happen in ten years or thirty.”
