A stranger once told the speaker, "Don't miss the obvious." He explains the windshield wiper principle: we focus on the road ahead while ignoring the obvious resources right in front of us. The biggest opportunities are often the simplest ones we overlook.

A stranger said one thing in passing to me, and I don't even know— I don't even think they know how profound it actually was. And I was just walking past, and this person said very simply, "Don't miss the obvious." And I was like, "What do you mean by that?" And of course, he was talking to somebody else. Now I look at my own life. What is the obvious stuff that's totally missing in my own life? Sometimes you're so focused on your business, so focused on different things that you're doing, that you forget that the obvious is right in front of you. I call this like the windshield wiper principle, which is really important. A lot of times you're so busy looking through the windshield, you don't see the windshield wipers in front of you when it's raining, but those windshield wipers are often the miracles right in front of you. And I want you to think about this. Are you seeing the miracles right in front of you every single day? Are you seeing the opportunities right in front of you every single day? Don't miss the obvious, because sometimes the obvious is right in front of you, and you're so busy seeing beyond that and so busy seeing way beyond that, focus on your goals, achieving the goal, but maybe there's something really important right in front of you that's going to help you.
