Do not Over Analyse

Usually it is during the most difficult, low and painful phases of our life, we discover how fragile life is. We suddenly realize how good a life we had and how happy we were. Strangely enough the sweetness is realized during the bitter moments of life. We wish things would go back to how they were.  That we could go back to experiencing those sweet moments again. We often wonder, “How did I manage to land myself in this situation? “ The guilt trip begins!

Over analyzing makes us more miserable, because it makes us look outwards for solutions. We start thinking how can we control and/or influence someone else’s actions, decisions, behavior etc. This doesn't help since we have absolutely no control over others. When we try to control something which is beyond our control, we are frustrated and helpless.

It is not often that we find ourselves facing issues or fighting a battle, but yes when we are fighting the battle we see issues/problems piling up and situation seems to worsen. Things seem hopeless and future bleak and dark. But have you realized that although the future seems bleak and dark, we always get out of it and find a bright future waiting, and we are beaming about the fact that this is so much better than what we wanted.

Guess the beauty of life is in its surprises and paradox. It brings forth problems so we better ourselves, become stronger by finding the way out and fighting the battle. And the minute we find the solution and see the simplicity of the things that we made so complex by our thinking and over analyzing, life smiles back.


The important thing to remember during any difficulty; Do not over analyse!  Humans love to add logic and reason to everything. Sometimes the trick is to just accept and go with the flow.
