Simplified Meaning:

People often see things in their lives as more significant or dramatic than they truly are, just like a microscope makes small objects look bigger. For example, when someone is late to a meeting, they might worry that everyone will be very upset or that it will have major consequences, even though it usually doesn’t matter that much in the long run. Our way of thinking can make small problems seem huge and overwhelming. By understanding that our brains magnify these issues, we can try to stay calm and not overreact. It's important to take a step back and see things for what they really are—often smaller and less critical than we first think. So, next time something bad or stressful happens, remind yourself to look at the big picture and not let your mind blow it out of proportion.
