Study the Big Picture

A child became the head of the father's house and rejoiced
The money we use to build a house is less important than character
It is less crucial than integrity
If a child has gentle character
She will make the father's house sustainable
If a child does not possess gentle character
She will desolate the father's house
Cast divination for an inattentive person who does not listen
Also for a wicked person with an uncontrollable temper
They were asked to perform an offering
​to take care of their father's house
It is in a safe place that Idi confides in Idi
Do not nitpick over little problems in the house
Let the house be united
Do not nitpick over little issues in the house
Let the house be peaceful
Do not nitpick over little problems in the house
Let the house be united
Do not nitpick over the mistakes of someone who does well for you
Do not nitpick over the mistakes of someone who does well for you
- Holy Odu OdiMeji

Study the big picture. Don't sweat the small stuff. In a family home, with spouses and children and their different approaches to life, there will always be reason to complain about something. This is especially true for people who are detail oriented and perfectionists. Every discrepancy seems like an attack on the family well being.

But keep in mind that well being is the key word. The only reason the details matter is because they support the health and vitality of your home. So don't compromise your family's health in the process of tending to the details. This does not mean that you should just let things fall apart though. When you know how to identify high quality, you should do what you can to achieve it. The challenge is to maintain high standards by sharing them with others.

When people appreciate high quality as much as you do, they will do more to maintain it. You will be able to overlook small problems when you know someone else is bound to address them in due time. So, instead of focusing exclusively details, you can also study the big picture. Who are all the members of your team or your family? What fo they want? What is most important to each of them? What is the real value of cooperation and harmony? Study these questions deeply and operate accordingly. This is the essence of living the medicine that will heal your life and heal the lives of those you're destined to serve.
