Do not only focus on the big picture of your life, learn to pay attention to the smaller things too.
If you focus too much on bigger goals and the future of your life, you are going to miss out on small opportunities and all the great little things that happen. Balance is important here and you need to pay attention to both in equal measures. It's easy to get fixated on the bigger picture, but learn to smell the roses as your walk by them and appreciate where you are right now.
