Very inspirational! I never thought of it that way. I really never have decided what my big picture is. I have always been someone who sets goals (small ones) and when I achieve that goal I move on. Thanks for sharing.

Spending time with my family has always been my bigger picture. I plan for ways we can be together, I plan for things that will improve our lives together. We’re looking towards what it will take to start buying our first house next year, we look at getting the kids into good schools. My wife and I look to spend time together.
All of that while I’m trying to get my writing done.

Taking things one day at a time by learning, reading, and writing. Understanding the reality of what it takes to be a successful author, publisher, and entrepreneur. The current hardships are molding me into the man I must become in order to complete my dreams.

My bigger picture has always involved my family and my faith. Right now, I’m focused on my marriage, creating our home together, and spending more time with my parents and relatives who live out-of-state. I go to my church about once a month with being a member of the AV Media team, but after talking to one of my college roommates the other day, I want to get more involved with mission work year-round. Thank you for the post!

I have been working on seeing my “bigger picture” lately. I have spent too much time just trying to survive, looking at only the here and now, occasionally dwelling in the land of the past, and hardly ever looking to the future. I’m trying to change that way of thinking, finding something to look forward to and work towards. Thanks for this post. I needed a reminder😊

It is easy to lose sight of perspective and get caught up in the details, isn’t it? To lose sight of the Big Picture can throw us off balance and too easily we can misplace the things that guide us. My Big Picture has changed a few times, and perhaps the Even Bigger Picture tells me to be open to all possibilities and many paths! whoa. 😉

You are correct loosing perspective can cause us to get of track. Great insight!

You just read my mind… Today I found myself wondering about ‘why’ one would commit into a long-term process. It must be something one really wants for him to stick to the process.
Great reminder to keep in mind the end goal to get you going!
Thanks 🙂

Hi, gosh thats a question…..mm….the end goal, the bigger picture in my life is when it comes to an end, when I am setting sail in my boat floating on all of the wonderful memories and moments made, be content with the love I gave and embraced, the help I gave to others, the lessons I learnt and the wisdom I gained, to be proud that the water was calm and not tainted by fear, loss and self sabotage that is what I think would be a wonderful picture to create…..Thank you for this thought provoking article xx Hope you can stop by and read my latest blog

This is a good one Jay! I think it gets tough some times because of the everyday, little things you’ve mentioned. It seems if we kept the bigger picture at the forefront, then we would structure our days different to make sure we reach for the bigger picture each and every day.

“The bigger picture.”I’m happy to say that I started to see the bigger picture earlier this year. I finally realized that my true life stories can be used to push myself and others to move forward.
I built a Encouragement Program for young women who have lost their way because of traumatizing event that took place at some point and time in their life. I am also in the process of becoming a published author.
So, Yes the bigger picture is sometimes much than you.
