Step back. What do you see?
Sometimes in the middle of working on a problem,
I get lost in the small details.
In those moments, I find it helps to step back.
View the whole thing within the context of the greater world.
Stepping back helps me see how the small piece fits.
It offers me perspective.
By seeing the whole picture, I can remember how important or not
The little piece I am working is.
I can find ways forward sometimes by seeing the piece I am working
Next to all the other pieces.
Maybe I am working on a piece of the puzzle that no longer matters...
I will never know if I don't step back.
