High agency is the reflex to move toward problems instead of away from them. Skills give you tools, determination keeps you from stopping when the first one doesn't work. Moving from "loss" to "challenge" is what separates high-agency people from everyone else.

The Ready Set calls this Challenge Driven + Resilience: leaning into difficulty as growth and pushing through setbacks without losing purpose.
