“If you focus on the small things, it prevents you from seeing the big picture”

Jennifer Lopez

Simplified Meaning:

Paying too much attention to minor details can stop you from understanding the overall situation. Imagine you are putting together a jigsaw puzzle. If you only concentrate on one small piece, you won't see how it fits into the whole picture. Similarly, in life, if you obsess over little problems or worry too much about tiny tasks, you might miss out on important opportunities or miss understanding the bigger goals. For example, if someone is so concerned about making their bed perfect every morning, they might forget to plan for their future goals, like studying or working towards a dream job. It's important to balance focusing on details with looking at the overall goals and plans so that you can make better decisions and achieve more in life.
