...that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of

Summary

This quote suggests that there comes a stage in our lives where we succumb to the belief that we no longer have any control over the circumstances unfolding around us. It emphasizes the idea that this notion is actually the biggest deception in the world. It challenges the concept of fate or destiny controlling our lives, asserting that it is merely an illusion. The quote encourages us to question and reject the idea that we are powerless and instead embrace our ability to shape our own destinies.
