"Il faut obtenir tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu et ensuite le perdre pour savoir ce qu'est la véritable liberté"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, having everything you dreamed of—like a great job, lots of money, or a perfect relationship—can actually make you feel trapped because you worry about losing it. When you finally do lose those things, you might feel sad and empty at first. But as time goes by, you start to realize that not having those things means you no longer have to worry about them. This can make you feel lighter and free because you’re no longer tied down by the fear of losing what you had. Imagine someone who spent their whole life working hard to buy a big house and fancy car, only to lose it all in a bad economy. After the initial shock, they might discover they now have more time to enjoy simple things like spending time with family or exploring new hobbies without the pressure of maintaining their previous lifestyle. This sense of freedom they find is more about being at peace with what they have now rather than constantly striving for more.
