this dangerous line of reasoning we can to a large degree control our actions however this idea of control in the first place is in the wrong frame ihmho

Explain why? Most misery comes from expectations.

How else would you overcome the basic risk of doing anything?

look its snot even clear across whole human population that free will even exists so controlling ones own actions seems like someone saying ok I see something and thats kind of a double entendre.

plus i cant think of many cogent examples where some force beyond human cognition surfaces that controls ones own actions seemingly beyond ones own ability to control which actually has far reaching consequeneces because where does this idea of control actually begin and start hence why even bother with this frame

Both joy and misery are to be expected, but in both cases you must be careful of how you act in reaction to these feelings.
