We don't have direct control on anything. Free will is an illusion. When you are thirsty small microbes decide when to drink water. The control you have in your local life is much the same. Actually you can have more control in saving that child's life rather than getting a raise in your job. You describe wishful thinking.
As for the rest of the paragraphs you wrote I have nothing to say since it is over- hyped sensationalist jargon.
Pardon my assumption about your sex. :-)
