12693660, Where did he say that we completely control our destiny?

In that Oprah interview he specifically speaks on how the people in his life contributed to his success, from both of his grandmothers (whom encouraged him in different ways) to his band teachers who told him that he had something special, even though he himself didn't see it at the time.

He's never denied that he has had help.

But that doesn't change the fact that we still need to be inspired and passionate about the things we desire in life.

If anything he is discouraging a victim mentality. That isn't to NOT acknowledge that fucked up shit goes on. But are you going to let that stop you from believing in yourself and having a dream?
