“Control your own destiny or someone else will.”
— Brian Tracy

Simplified Meaning:
If you don't make decisions for your own life and take charge of where you're going, then other people will decide for you. Imagine you have a boat. If you don't steer it, the wind and currents will push it in directions you might not want to go. Similarly, in life, if you don't set your own goals and follow your own path, others might influence your choices, and you may end up living a life that doesn't make you happy. For instance, if you let others always choose your job, you might end up in a career that doesn't suit you. Taking control means thinking about what you want and making choices that help you reach your own dreams and stay true to yourself.
