“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
— Steve Jobs

Simplified Meaning:
It's saying that when we remember our time on Earth is limited, we realize that fear and worry about losing things are not as important as they seem. Life is short, and we don't have as much to lose as we think. Imagine you have always wanted to start your own business, but you are scared of failing and losing money. Remembering that someday you won't be here can give you the courage to take that risk. After all, we come into this world with nothing and will leave with nothing, so why not follow our dreams and passions? When you truly understand that you have nothing to lose in the end, it frees you to live more fully and authentically.
