Meaning of the quote

The quote means that what really matters in life is your purpose or the reason behind what you do, not just the final result. It's not always about achieving success, but about having the right mindset and determination to make a difference, even if things don't turn out exactly as planned. Your intentions, or the goals you set for yourself, are more important than the final outcome.
