You’re not a wave, you’re a part of the ocean.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that you are not just a small part of something bigger, but an important and inseparable part of it. Just like a wave is not separate from the ocean, you are not separate from the world around you. You are a vital part of the whole, not just a small piece floating on top. This suggests that you should see yourself as an integral part of the bigger picture, not as something isolated or alone.
