In his book Soundtracks: The Solutiuon to Overthinking, Jon Acuff writes, ‘Overthinking is when what you think gets in the way of what you want.’

If you know what you want, then take action to make it happen . Do not stuck yourself. Do not stuck your dreams. And do not stuck your future. And that is exactly what you are doing to yourself, to your future, to the people around you, when you overthink ‘every little decision.’

No matter what you are doing, you are not going to be perfect. The best way to move forward, to bring out your creative self, is to stop overthinking everything.

If you want to get things done, use what you have right now to start your journey. Yes, life is a journey. If you do not start, you will never arrive.

Do not waste your thoughts. Do not waste your time. Instead of overthinking everything, why not focus on what you can do with what you have? According to Jon Acuff, You can turn overthinking into action.’ Remember, to get anything done in your life, you must take action. And you must stop overthinking every little thing. You will get better as you go.

Because if you waste your time too much, if you do not take action, you are not going anywhere. Is that what you want for yourself?

Why You Must Make Up Your Mind

Plato said, ‘Make up your mind, then, or rather have your mind already made up, for the time of delibration is over, and there is only one thing to be done, which must be done this very night, and if we delay at all will be no longer practicable or possible.’

If you know what you want for yourself, then stop waiting. Do not waste your time. The time of serious thinking is over. The time of intense planning is over. And the time of doubt, of fear, is over. Now is the time to act. If you do not act to make your dreams come true, they will die.

Whatever you want to do in your life, you can do it. And if you do not do it, your life will never change. Remember, for your life to change, something must change. According to Ozan Varol, ‘The key is to forget the noun and do the verb instead. If you want to be a blogger, start blogging every week. If you want to be a stand-up comedian, start performing at open-mic nights. If you want to be a podcaster, podcasting.’

‘If you want your life to take a different direction, you must take a different direction.’

He is right. If you want anything to change in your life, you must take action. If you want to get rid of something you do not like in your life, you have got to take a big action. If not, nothing is going to happen. Because nothing happens without action.
