Simplified Meaning:

When someone feels a strong desire to achieve something great or reach their full potential, they shouldn't settle for less or hold themselves back. Imagine a student who dreams of becoming a doctor. If they feel truly passionate about this goal but decide to stick to an easier, less challenging career just because it seems safer or requires less effort, they are holding themselves back from what they could truly become. It's like having wings but choosing to walk instead of flying. Following one's true ambitions can lead to greater fulfillment and happiness. If you dream big, you should take the steps necessary to reach those heights instead of staying in a comfortable, but limited, position.
