Whenever something good or bad happens, there's always different ways to think about it. Whether it is a result of our own doing or an external cause. I've always thought that having an internal locus of control is better, since that means I'd always strive hard to achieve good things and that I'd always aim to change my behaviour and actions to avoid bad things from happening. But I realised, that's not always the case. There's nothing in accepting an external locus of control sometimes, viewing what has happened as simply luck or circumstance. Things may go our way (or not) and maybe it's nice to disregard our ability to make that happen.
