(shrug)
If the universe wills that I eat lunch, I eat lunch; if it wills that I don't eat lunch, I don't eat lunch.
That is not in any way incompatible with the fact that, if I am to eat lunch, I have to get off the couch and go get lunch.

More generally: even if we can't change anything, that doesn't mean that changes won't happen because of our efforts.
