The word agency is shorthand for our perceived ability to shape our lives every day. As "agents" we know we can make things happen or stop them from happening.

We know we can take responsibility for determining our future and then making it happen. Over time, we can develop our ability to shift our identity by building our capacity for persistence and long-term effort. Agency allows us to make us the authors of our own lives which gives us hope. 

Michelangelo, perhaps history’s greatest sculptor, understood the concept of agency. Two of his more famous quotes speak directly to this idea:

"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free"

For Michelangelo, his agency was already there, inside the hunk of stone, whether by divine providence or by his own imagination. His eyes and hands were merely the vessels by which that idea—the art—was brought forth into the physical world as he or God (or both) originally intended. His hopeful curiosity led him to connect to his Future Me.
