“If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it.”

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes in life, the opportunities or rewards we're waiting for don't arrive on their own. Just like waiting for a ship at the dock, there's a chance it might not come. Instead of just standing there and hoping, you need to take action and go after what you want. Imagine you applied for a job and haven't heard back. Rather than just waiting, you could call the company to check on your application or apply for other jobs. By being proactive and taking steps towards your goal, you're more likely to succeed. This approach helps you achieve your dreams more effectively than simply waiting for them to happen.
