The Forest Through The Trees

There is an old adage that talks about seeing The Forest Through The Trees. I think now more than ever before, I understand what this means. Sometimes in this life we can get caught up in those small, minute, unimportant and/or non life changing things. Those things that are so insignificant to who we are and have no major impact on our future, We focus so much on things of this nature that we don't see the big picture. All we see are those Trees, but we don't see the Forest made up by each one of those Trees. Every Tree has a story, but the Forest is a true collection of all our stories, folk tales, dreams, goals and aspiration.

There are a number of times where we accept the little things that are tossed our way or find there way in our lane. But we can't get thrown off by those Trees. We have to look beyond the smoke and mirrors, those Trees, and seek out the Forest. These days we all need to re-double our efforts to stay focused. There is so much going on in this world. Everywhere we turn there is something that is going on in our neighborhoods, our lives and in our personal circles. But we cannot let those Trees distract or derail us. We have to set our sights on locating the entire Forest. Somewhere in the Forest lies our various Trees that contribute to the actual Forest. We have to seek out our Forest to find each Tree that defines who we are. Our Destiny lies in the Forest, not just with one Tree. Don't let just one Tree or branch define who you are. You have a whole Forest to journey through. What are you waiting on? I promise you, you won't regret the trip.
