 It simply means you can't have everything you want. Life is a lot of give and take. It's a lot of trade-offs and sacrifices. You can't always have your way, and get what you want. Hope that clears it up for you. :)

 It means you can't have the best of both worlds. If you eat your cake, you no longer have it.
So basically he's telling you you can't have it both ways.
