'going too far' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'having to make one's own way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is found within the answer.
'way' could be 'n' (Compass direction - North) and 'n' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'there is' is the link.
