chart your own course

If you don't give your life purpose, the world will use you however it sees fit. Beware, as this worldly assignment may not align with your desires. Don't relinquish control; instead, seize it and define your purpose for yourself. If you're unsure of your purpose, seek inspiration from those you admire, but be cautious not to confuse admiration with the prescription of your own purpose. While replicating another's purpose may serve as a starting point, it should not be fully adopted as your own.

Taking action is better than being tossed about by the winds of fate. Neglecting to define your purpose can leave you adrift, lost at sea, or even capsized. Chart your own course, hoist the sails, and set out with determination
