It’s not about me, it’s about my family. You don’t answer questions for you, but for us. You learn to live beyond yourself.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that the most important thing is not just about you, but about the people who are close to you, like your family. When you are asked questions, you should think about how your answers will affect your whole family, not just yourself. This helps you become less focused on your own needs and start thinking more about the needs of the people around you.
