A Way to Think about the Bigger Picture

August 31, 2020 by Trevor Allen

What is looking at the bigger picture? It’s recognizing that you are temporary, and that your conduct affects what comes after you. When we act with integrity, we actively bring about a better world for those in the future. Whatever advantages we personally accrue throughout the course of our lives vanish upon death. However, the favorable conditions we harvest for the world, for others, will last. They will continue to work in favor of those alive after we are gone. That’s the bigger picture. It’s honest work, responsibility, respect, and resolve. Do you behave within the narrow-minded perspective of personal prosperity no matter the cost? Or are you living for something greater?
