I once heard someone say: Its seemingly a good idea to look at things from the big picture, reason been that it makes it possible for us to align all of our actions and thoughts along with it. is this right? No! The big picture is really just something you steal glances at, just to make sure you are workimg things out in the right perspective, put differenly, you doing things correctly. Picture your mind on a jigsaw puzzle.

In a jigsaw puzzle, you would find out that the big picture on the box is what serves as a point of reference. You cannot just stare at the box for a long period of time and then fix the pieces together from your memory. You cannot just stare at the box while you are moving the pieces into place blindly without looking at where tou fixing the parts in. All that really cant be dine. On the other hand, most of the time you just look at the small pieces and then see just how they could fit in together, on some occasions, you would be glancing at the box just to see where exactly they fit within the big picture.

Having said that, you should know that life isnt too different from this. The big picture here is something which needs to be glanced out, but then we need to still focus on the one thousand parts (1,000) parts which make it up. These little pieces are really so small and they appear seemingly worthless when they are on their own, but then the moment they are been combined, over time they would bring about a beautiful (maybe not always beautiful) big picture. A good number of large firms got to that level they are today from thousands of small decisions that formed a chain of cohesive intention to get to that level. A whole lot of daily decisions to work hard and also maintain focus towards accomplishing a set goal.

What can you do about this - Reward Your Productivity

Immediately am done writing this article, I definitely would be going somewhere to relax as a short break and then do something to reward myself. Right after that and been satisfied with outcome, i could continue with work. I realize that i am an active thinker, so i know that my actions today are some building stonea for a very meaningful and interesting tomorrow. Although I still engage some social media and also entertainment, but now, its no longer at the expense of my important productive tasks.

Do not take lots of regretable decisions due to an over-simplified information. Take your time and think things through actively and select the daily activities which would connect together and result in the picture which you want to see on your jigsaw puzzle box of life! If you are focusing on the box alone by itself, you would not be able to see exactly how each piece connects and the big picture would forever remain a dream instead of moving straight out to becoming a reality.

Thanks for sharing this valuable piece of information. I agree with you on what you said about the big picture;

The big picture is really just something you steal glances at, just to make sure you are workimg things out in the right perspective, put differenly, you doing things correctly.

This statement to me makes a whole lot of sense in that you have to get things aright by doing the required which still points back at Perspective
