You can control what you do and what you act on.

Dwell on Philosophy.

The randomness of certain thoughts, that are influenced mostly by the things we experience, is not contradictory to free will. For example, thoughts can be externally inspired but the choice to act on it is yours. External factors can change the stakes of your choices, but it is still your choice.
