I was blown off course by the winds of change, But I learnt to change the direction of the sails To reach my destination nonetheless.

In other words

Change can feel like being blown away from the life that was meant to happen. Plans fall apart, familiar things disappear, and the old path no longer leads forward. The destination may still matter even when the first way of reaching it has closed.

Changing the sails does not mean giving up the journey. It means meeting life as it is, including its unfair turns. We can let go of the route without letting go of what mattered about it. The wind may change what is possible today, but it does not have to decide what the whole journey means.
