Over Thinking, Under Performing
I've studied many top performers in various lines of employment,and have looked at several over achievers, and one of themajor commonalities amongst them is the ability to not onlydo what they need to do, but also to take action!
Nike coined the phrase, "Just Do It," and that simple quote,although so simple on it's own, can make or break a person'ssuccess in life.
How many times have you thought to yourself, "If only I had...",or "Why didn't I...?" Many times it's either we chose thewrong option or we didn't choose one at all. Most of the time,it's because we didn't choose one at all because we over thinkwhatever it is and we don't end up doing anything. You becomeone of the "Frozen Chosen."
Leaders and successful people are able to act fast when needed.They don't sit back and over analyze all of the what-ifs.Doing that will let the opportunity pass you by. You can't possibly have all the answers without knowing all the questions,and the only way to know the questions is just by doing itsometimes.
In whatever you're trying to accomplish, there will alwaysbe an inherent risk. Risk is a part of life. As children,we accomplish so much because we are not afraid of risks.As adults, we've been bombarded by negativity for yearsthat we're afraid to take risks. We over analyze everythingbecause we want to assess ALL the risks. It's impossibleto move anywhere in life without taking risks and you'llnever achieve anything unless you stop over thinking.
The only way to win a race is to get running. Don't stand at the starting line and try to figure outhow to turn the corner a mile down the road. Cross thestarting line! Put one foot in front of the other. Soon, the finish line will be within reach.
