In this following context,
1. how should I understand the underlined sentence?
2. what does the phrase 'in his power' mean?

Context:
Hence man has it in his power to shape his future destiny by means of his will and actions. It depends on his actions, or kamma, whether his destiny will lead him up or down, either to happiness or to misery.

Well, the rest of the sentence pretty much explains what "in his power" means. Would you care to take a stab at it?
