motivation & responsibility

If we were asked to predict the probability of picking a number out of a box we feel much reassured if we do the picking rather than relying on some one else's pick.
The odds are the same however when we do the picking we feel we have some control over the event.
It is this sense of control that gets us to do the picking ourselves or rather the motivation arises from the fact that we have some sense of control over events.

The inference is that the ability to pick that right number is the same as everyone else, we are not any one special that nullifies the laws of probability.

But it is the sense of control that motivates us to make an action or decision.
And it is this motivation that also makes us responsible for an action or decision.
I mean rationally if I am motivated to make a choice then I need to be responsible to do what's required to make the choice work
