Jun 22, 2021 at 11:55 comment added randomhead Does this answer your question? Im trying to figure out what this verse means — if your original question has not received enough traffic, you can edit it (as I requested) to include more information, which will bring it to the top of the question queue, or (when you have enough reputation) assign a bounty to it. You should not post a new question asking the same thing.

I don't see it as a "Be your own boss" motivational, rather a warning to nurture and protect a safe retreat within yourself. "Own your own" suggest multiple interpretations: discovering education and knowledge to 'live free', preserving cultural history and truth however painful or oppressive, surviving the 'grind' of life, and especially protecting your personal mental health.
