Simplified Meaning:

In life, some things you can control and change while others you can't. For the things you can change, put in the effort to make them better. For example, if you don't like your job, you can look for a new one or learn new skills to get a better position. But some things are outside your control, like the weather or past mistakes. You need to accept these things because there's no way to change them. However, if there's a situation that is bad or harmful to you and you can't change it, it's best to walk away from it. For instance, if you're in a toxic relationship or environment where you're constantly being hurt and it's not getting better, it's important to leave for your own well-being. By focusing on what you can change, accepting what you can't, and getting away from harmful things, you can lead a more peaceful and happy life.
