The powerful man creates environment; the feeble have to adjust themselves to it.
God ordered His creation to stand on one leg. It was done. Then He ordered him to lift the other leg as well. "But my Lord, I will fall", said the man. "Hence that is your control".
Man was created weak. It is through the will of the Almighty do we ascend too higher planes. Yes a man cannot control his environment, but to submit to it is to be trampled and pushed for the rest of your life. A stronger man doesn't "Create" an environment, he molds it, envisions it and manifests it into being.
Your world is small. Have power over it by having power over yourself. Your body, mind and soul require attention. Ensure that and the rest would take care of itself. But when it comes to facing external force; let it pass through. There's no use to force things to happen. Some conditions need to be accepted and allowed to pass through.
