This explanation of the quote helped me understand it better. Hope it helps here.

“Everything you can do, and be, and create, and provide, already exists within you. You are born with it and while it may take time to access it, knowing you already have it is the secret to having it all.”

It's a zen koan.

It's difficult in our commercialized society to understand the Buddhist idea of "letting go" and our contrast grasping confined in a commercial worldview.

Essentially be grateful for what you have in life. There's beauty all around you and in places you may not see if you're fixating on wanting more and more in your life. Your life is your own, not your possessions etc.
