There is a popular saying that goes like this: 
You can’t see the forest for the trees!
The idea is that we can get so focused on the trees – a single tree or a few trees – that we can lose sight of the bigger picture – the forest. This quote is a great reminder that we need to remember to regularly rise above the trees to rediscover the forest.
This quote has me thinking…..
- Trees and Forests – both are important.
- I tend to focus more on the Forest then the Trees. How about you? My hunch is that most people tend to gravitate toward one over the other.
- Intentionally schedule both Tree Time and Forest Time. We need to regularly focus on a few specifics at hand, while not losing sight of the bigger picture.
Pete Nelson, the star of Treehouse Masters, seems to model what I am suggesting. He is always taking in the bigger Forest view, while searching for that special tree that he falls in love with.
Let’s do the same!
All the best to you,
Take Smaller Steps!
