Spanish term or phrase: Cada cual se fabrica su destino

This is a piece written by Cervantes, i think it means everyone makes their own destiny. Is this correct?? Bearing in mind it was written in the 16th century and the language used then may give the sentence a different meaning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
