Simplified meaning
Everyone knows their own feelings and what makes them happy better than anyone else. Imagine you love drawing, but people around you keep suggesting you should be an engineer because they think it will make you happy. If drawing is what truly brings you joy, you should pursue it despite what others say. Only you can fully understand what brings you contentment. Like when you choose your favorite ice cream flavor because you know what you like, decisions about your happiness should come from you. By listening to yourself, you can live a more satisfying and enjoyable life.
