What does paragraph 915 in the Catholic Catechism mean?

I was recently reading the Catechism and came across paragraph 915, which has left me with some questions. It is the first sentence of 915 that's bothering me. It says: "Christ proposes the evangelical counsels, in their great variety, to every disciple." What exactly does that mean? I know we are all meant to live in the spirit of the evangelical counsels, but I thought the evangelical counsels proper were for those in the consecrated life. Furthermore, 915 doesn't say Christ proposes the *spirit* of the evangelical counsels, it says Christ proposes **THE** evangelical counsels. Any information would be appreciated!
