Over-thinking, Under-doing

Was watching an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" on StarWorld earlier (surprisingly, a very good sitcom), and the story was about how the lead character always thinks too much and not do anything about it.

Too many times, this is true for all of us. We may have the best intentions and dreams, but sometimes, more often than not, our over-thinking limits what we do in the end. Sometimes, we end up talking ourselves out of it. Sometimes, we scare ourselves so much with our thoughts that we do not do things confidently or just doing it half-heartedly. Sometimes, we just do not even attempt it after talking ourselves out.

There are also a lot of elements involved. Sometimes we love to get advice from our friends. To their best of knowledge, they will always give us advice on specific things. Soemtime we maybe thinking things thru too emotionally and not rationally. They will sometimes provide us with rational solutions. It maybe right when it comes to issues that are non human related.

Anything human related is usually very emotional. After all, we do have feelings and if it involves another person, what we do or not do will impact on the other party's feelings. Sometimes thinking rationally may not be the best solution. And sometimes, listening to friends may not be the best answer you can find.

In the end, most of the time, we end up confusing ourselves, with too many thoughts and inputs. Thats the human dilemma, whether to act with our feelings / intuition or the rational mind.
I'm usually very rational when it comes to non human matters, but when it comes to interpersonal matters, I'm always overthinking. Don't think there is always the right answer. If i had the answer, I wouldn't be typing this at this time of day. Its obvious I still don't know what is right, despite feeling right ;-p

The fear of losing stops us from doing. If we don't do, then we won't lose.

But are we really going to be happy with not winning? I want to be a winner, not a person who doesn't want to lose (although i do hate losing).

I want to act, but I'm really too afraid to act. For I know how losing feels and i'm afraid to lose again.


Boodyboy, out!!!
