It means in my opinion, life is counted by experiences, not facts. Take for example at an amusement park. You walk around all day and you can grow bored. But when you get on a rollercoaster for the first time, you get your "breath taken away" (if its a good ride). Which will you probably remember most when you get home or a year from now? Chances are you'll remember the ride, not the walking.

This compares something concrete and quantifiable like "number of moments" to something non-quantifiable -- the quality of these moments.
Life is often measured by accomplishments, but living life for these breaths or tangibles is futile, and lacks reward. At any moment, all plans can be snatched away ... and at that moment all that is left, and all that is important are moments. So this means we should live for the moments, and make them of the highest quality -- the kind that take your breath away.
And you can only squeeze so many breaths into a lifetime. Some people get more of those breaths, some less. And often times, circumstances beyond our control decide the number of breaths. All the more reason to make every breath count.
