Has anything you ever done actually benefited your life?

Does anything we do truly stem from free will, or are we just puppets of fate, genetics, and probabilities, playing out a script? We like to believe we choose our paths, but how much of that choice is really ours when our genes, upbringing,family, and the randomness of the universe stack the deck before we're even born? Are our victories and failures anything more than predetermined outcomes dressed up as agency?
Can anything you do truly matter?
No one is coming to save you and you can't save yourself.

This is not meant to be fatalistic and nihilistic its more so to provoke a question in which you should recognize what your values are, what you should prioritize(probably you and your family), how maybe you are to take a pragmatic and realistic approach to goals and life.

Both perspectives have truth within them. I personally believe we have free will, but I don't discredit that there are many predetermined factors at play in people's lives.

Determinism is a concept, probabilism is not, yes we do have some sort of freewill. That's why for our freewill, although this is a common take we can really only do things we can control.

Exactly, agreed.

Not rotting in this forum. To me all I do matters because I care, even tho it won't matter when I die, my life and things matter to me and I should take care of them as that is what my religion follows in the Lords name.

50 percent of life success is determined by environment, upbringing and factors not in your control. The other 50 percent is your character which comes from the first statement and your neurotransmitters
