Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has their own ideas about how life should be lived, but you don't have to follow other people's plans for you, and they don't have to follow yours either. Imagine a situation where your parents want you to be a doctor, but you dream of being an artist. This quote means that it's okay to pursue what makes you happy, even if it doesn't match what others want. It’s a reminder that you should follow your own path and let others follow theirs. This way, people can live more honestly and feel more content with their choices. By respecting each other's different dreams and goals, we all can live more freely and comfortably.
