PART 2

Don’t Overthink

Don’t overanalyze. Don’t overplan. Don’t try
to predict the future.

No matter how smart we are, we cannot accurately predict what will happen tomorrow. Life is complicated, interconnected, and intertwined. The world is so complex, growing so fast, that it is impossible to make any reasonable predictions. Having more information doesn’t always help. In fact, it can debilitate. Things change constantly. It’s fine to think about pros and cons and the consequences of our actions, but too often our minds try to get perfect certainty, and sometimes we get lost in the process.

Let’s stop overthinking what other people do, think, or say. Let’s realize that love, career, business, the economy, or our future are not predictable. Let’s redirect those thoughts toward working on our purpose, our passion, our love, our family, our friends, and our work. Let’s rechannel all that overthinking and worrying about tomorrow toward the most certain thing we have in life: our own actions today.
