I find this quote interesting.  Essentially if you're looking or trying too hard, you'll miss what you're looking for to begin with or your goal.  It was right in front of you all along.  The reward would've been sweet had you only seen it.  Unfortunately in your zeal to find something better or a better way, you overlooked it.  You should simplify your strategy.  You should clarify your goals.  You should avoid over complicating your actions and procedures.  Don't fail to notice your objective because you're staring at a passing light.
