How would you explain Kofi Annan’s quote "To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for where you want to go and why you want to get there."?

Please explain this quote.

the quote it’s talking about how everyday we make decisions that affect us. life is a series of decisions, and what we choose to do. and it’s saying that to make the right decisions, we need to really know what we support and what we believe. then only we can make the right decisions.

To live is to choose. Our lives are made up from constant decisions we make. If someone dies from drug overdose, it’s because he chose to take it. If someone meets the best person in the universe, it’s because he decided to go to wherever he met that person. We need to make good decisions to live well. We need to know why are we choosing. We need to know what impact can the decision make in our life.
