“I try to teach my heart not to want things it can't have”
— Alice Walker

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we desire things that are out of our reach. Just like when a child really wants a toy that costs too much money, but their family can't afford it. It's better to teach yourself not to want that toy so badly because you know you can't have it. This can prevent you from feeling sad or frustrated about not getting it. Similarly, adults might want a job or a relationship that isn't possible. By training your heart to let go of such wants, you can focus on things that are achievable and make you happy. This helps in leading a more content and peaceful life without constant longing for the impossible.
