Controlling my own destiny?

"She is controlling her own destiny!"

What does this mean? would anyone say this about me?

I don't feel like I'm controlling my own destiny, sure I have plans and goals and wishes for the future but I think I would certainly describe myself as floating along rather than being in control.

I control what I feel I can and the rest I leave up to someone else?

I am lonely, I am content, I am happy, but I am lonely. I don't even know if it is possible to be all of these things at once... but thats just me I guess.

I am dreaming of something else.
