Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

The phrase "your way" means "how you want it" or "what you want", so the meaning is similar to "intention". Therefore, this sentence means, "When everything in your life is going how you want it to go." Ex: Sorry, but we can't do it your way. ("Your way" here means "how you want it") Ex: How do you always get your way? ("Your way" here means "what you want")
