"The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes"

This quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe speaks to the problem of recognizing the fact that is ideal in front of us. It is typically easier to disregard the facts that are right in front of us, or to try to find responses in places that are far. We can become so concentrated on what we think we understand, that we fail to see the reality that is ideal in front of us. This quote is a reminder to take a step back and take a look at the circumstance objectively, to be open to the reality that is best in front of us. It is a tip to be conscious of our own biases and to be happy to accept the reality, even if it is not what we wish to hear. It is a pointer to be honest with ourselves and to be happy to accept the truth, no matter how hard it may be.
