About This Quote

This quote is about how we can’t let the small things in life distract us from the bigger picture. If you go back and look at all of those events that have happened to you, one by one, you will find they have no meaning whatsoever. But if you see them as a story, a piece of art, a huge adventure, with real meaning, then you can truly say that they have made a difference in your life. This quote is about taking that big picture view of your life and seeing it as an adventure instead of a series of events that have no meaning.
