Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you're stuck in a small, dark room with no windows. It's so cramped and gloomy that you feel trapped and miserable. This quote is telling you to break free from whatever is holding you back, just like smashing through the walls of that dark room with a big axe. Instead of letting problems or negative thoughts keep you down, you should aim to be like the wide, open sky where there are no limits. Think of a butterfly that starts as a caterpillar inside a cocoon and then becomes something beautiful and free. By taking action to change your situation and not letting fears or obstacles stop you, you can find a bigger, happier world for yourself. For example, if you're in a job you hate, start looking for new opportunities or learn new skills to create a better future.
