It’s about the importance of stepping back to examine the bigger picture.
Think of it this way, if you are standing in a forest and can’t see the trees because they’re all around you, it can be difficult to find your way out – or even remember where you came from. Sometimes we need to take a minute to step back and see how everything really fits together before we go charging ahead blindly into problems.
