Big picture Quote by Sophie Kinsella (Undomestic Goddess

“It doesn’t matter’, she says, her voice soft. ‘Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing all the answers. You don’t always have to know who you are. You don’t have to have the big picture, or know where you’re heading. Sometimes it’s enough just to know what you’re going to do next.” quote by Sophie Kinsella (Undomestic Goddess
