“The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes ”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Simplified Meaning:
When something is very close or obvious, we often don't notice it. It's like when you're looking for your glasses, but they’re already on your head. People can be so focused on finding answers far away that they miss what’s right in front of them. For example, imagine a student who spends hours researching complex methods to solve a math problem, without realizing there was a simple way they learned in class but overlooked. Similarly, in relationships, someone might look for happiness in new, exciting places, but real joy might be found in the everyday moments with family and friends. To apply this idea in life, take a moment to pause and look around. If you’re searching for solutions or happiness, start by examining what’s already in your life. Often, what you need is closer than you think.
