“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
— Laozi

Simplified Meaning:
When you are happy with what you already have and appreciate things just as they are, you understand that you don't really need more to feel fulfilled. Imagine you have a small garden. Some people might always want a bigger garden with more flowers, but if you enjoy and care for the garden you have, it brings you peace and happiness. When you stop worrying about getting more and appreciate what you have, you feel like you own everything you need. This mindset can make you feel rich in a way that money can't buy. Applying this idea to life means focusing on the good in your current situation, which can bring more happiness and reduce stress about what you don't have.
