The expression that you "can't see the wood for the trees" really just means that sometimes you are too close to something (usually emotionally) to see it properly.

Getting an outside view (ie someone else's perception) can be really helpful.

redflame	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 6:21AM Outsiders can see things in a different, or more truthful perspective that what you can. Depending on your judgement, you might have a clouded view of something. not saying they're correct all the time, but sometimes having outsiders view point on situations can make you "see the light" so to speak.
