No forest for the trees

I know we have all heard the phrase on not being able to see the forest for the trees. Do you know why? When you look at the forest you are straining to see the big picture of things when in the journey through life you must first see the smaller puzzle pieces before the big picture becomes clear. Hence, you must see the trees individually as the small pieces of the of the puzzle and understand the meaning of each one as you place it in to your own puzzle picture. When we examine those small pieces we must make certain that we are content and confident in that piece that we will add. As each tree becomes more visible and we travel forth with diligence the forest will eventually form a most beautiful master piece that we have built for ourselves-that big picture that does finally allow us to see the forest BECAUSE of the trees.
