Sometimes I wonder , what if there is no free will ( Its not like we know Free Will exists for sure yet) - This whole charade of using your drive and determination or the lack there of to do things may be just the way nature always wanted it to be.You are just the puppet playing out your part

Edit: Considering the amount of blogs/books that are written around "Self Help" type of topics which might all be a waste of time if there were nothing like free will - do you guys think about this at all? If so how do you deal with it?

You seem worried about this free will stuff. I suggest checking out: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Free_will and, when you're ready, and if you haven't grasped the full solution, http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Free_will_%28solution%29

But if there's no free will then it doesn't matter anyway, so best to act as if there is :)

What is the point of thinking about it? I thought about it for a while, realized there was nothing to gain by focusing my mind on this topic, and haven't thought about it since.
