See the Forest and the Trees

There is an expression that says: "You can't see the forest for the trees."

Basically, this refers to a person who is so bogged down in details they can't see the whole situation.

But I want you to look at this forest/tree relationship a little differently and in conjunction with writing your life 'story.'

My expression is: "Look at how the trees fill the forest and how the forest fills the trees."

Each tree is nourished by the perfect environment in the forest, from the soil to the amount of sunlight.

And the forest is filled with trees that stand next to each other, giving shade, providing homes for furry and feathered animals, and emitting oxygen for all.

Think of the forest as a small universe, giving the trees all they need to thrive. And think of the trees as people like you and me, who have a life's purpose.

The trees never worry about their future because they are in the best possible place; the forest.

And you are in the best possible place to live your 'story': the universe.

So, look at the trees and the forest and know that you will take your rightful place in the Universe.
