“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”

Steve Jobs

Simplified Meaning:

When we're going through life, we don't always understand how things will fit together. Imagine you're drawing a picture by connecting dots. If you start at the first dot, you can't always see what the picture will look like until you step back and see all the dots you've connected. This is like life—it only makes sense when you look back and see how your past experiences, decisions, and events have shaped who you are. For example, you might wonder why you had a specific job or met a particular person, but later you'll see how it all helped you grow or led you to a better situation. This idea encourages us to have faith in our journey and trust that everything we're going through now will make sense in the future. So, don't stress too much about not knowing what's next; just believe that things will fall into place eventually.
