Why do people focus on the little things?

The little things comprise the larger ones.

We tend to focus on the little things in decisions and matters that, as a whole, don't matter.

Sometimes, instead of changing little things in the big picture, try changing the big picture itself, or even the entire canvas it's on.

As a whole, nothing is insignificant, all things have a cause and effect relationship. We may think that our own agendas should determine our thoughts, and thus our courses of action, but that's not the way it is. Life complications occupy a part of our mind, which, if dealt with effectively, will help us learn and grow. I find that these things usually surrounding building better relationships with other people.

A lot who focus on the big thing only, can cause a lot of harm

So it`s relative;give yourself a break..

from little seeds great apple-trees may grow!

That is the question that has plagued mankind since the first cave man.

Be ever vigilant with your thoughts and keep bringing them back into a more positive light. We create this world with our vibrational thoughts and in order to break away from lower vibes we need only to change our thoughts then slowly your vibration-thoughts- will seek higher ''like minded'' thoughts...love brings love hate brings hate.....ॐ ....

I really love cloud nine's answer.

I have learned that missing the little things messes up the big things.

Please elaborate.
