"We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary"
Simplified meaning
When we focus too much on achieving grand or amazing things, we might overlook the small moments that bring us happiness every day. Imagine spending all your time trying to get a big promotion at work. You might miss out on simple pleasures like having dinner with your family, laughing with friends, or enjoying a beautiful sunset. These everyday experiences can be very joyful and fulfilling. If we only pay attention to big goals, we can forget to appreciate the smaller, but still wonderful, parts of life. Balancing our efforts to achieve big dreams with enjoying daily moments can lead to a more joyful and content life.
