"I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times, but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers."

Simplified meaning
Some people focus less on what they can't do and more on what they can do, and this helps them stay happy. For instance, a person who can't run might focus on swimming or cycling, finding joy in these activities rather than feeling bad about not running. Every now and then, they might briefly wish they could run, but this feeling is faint and doesn't upset them. It's like a gentle breeze you feel for a moment but it doesn't stay long or bother you. This shows us that by concentrating on our strengths and the things we enjoy, we can live a more cheerful and fulfilling life, rather than getting stuck on our limitations.
