Stop Overthinking! Hold Yourself Accountable and Start Taking Action

It’s the only way you’re ever going to achieve your goals.

How many times have you taken far longer than you should’ve when performing a task all because you were overthinking the situation?

I’m guessing the majority of people — myself included — couldn’t put a number on something like that.

You can see it everywhere you go; all you have to do is stop and take a look.

As you drive your car, go shopping for groceries, work out at the gym, in your place of work even in your own home.

The world is full of people hesitant to make a decision and just take action.

It Drives Me Crazy

Don’t you just hate it when you ask someone a question and you can’t get a straight answer?

Maybe you’re at work and you ask a colleague a straightforward question which requires a simple yes or no answer, only to receive their life story which still ends in your query going unanswered.

Perhaps you send an email or make a phone call and leave a message, but you end up waiting days sometimes even weeks for a reply when really it should only have taken a matter of minutes to return with an answer.
