Please help!
I have a problem with almost all this lesson (38)
I don't understand what is a point in "At the end of the day it's what you believe in that's important."

Thank you a lot.

This is an example of a cliche - an expression which has very little meaning and is used in the sense of ultimately/finally/in conclusion So the whole sentence can be interpreted as:I would like to say as my final comment that the important thing is what your actual beliefs are.

sometimes it's difficult to understand sentences like this, when English is not your native language :)
