Too much thinking, not enough doing

Sometimes, you just have to quit thinking and start doing.

There’s some wisdom in this for us in the workplace, at home and in life

I tend to overthink—and then get bogged down in the mess of it all. There’s a certain ability God puts in us to make decisions, to analyze and review all the data and make a snap judgment. Often,  it is not foolish, but the ultimate in wisdom to decide with our guts like this.

Mike was a Little League pitcher and was so wrapped up in mechanics, motion, and timing that he lost his little mojo. He was frozen by the process. Finally, his coach encouraged him. “Don’t aim the ball,” he said.

“Don’t think. Just go out there and have a catch.”

It worked for little Mike. And it might work for you.
