Just Do It and Don’t Overthink!
Today, I opened my facebook and started scrolling down on my phone and laptop. Yeah, I do scroll facebook both on my phone and laptop, its just that I start one after the other to be updated of latest feed.
So, while scrolling I first came up across a video titled — “Just Do It” by Gary Vaynerchuk and than with another video titled “ Overthinking” by Rob Dial. I don’t know why but the title of both these videos were so much relatable to whatever was and is happening inside me.
From last 19 years of my life, the one thing that i have heard and somewhere believe in my subconscious mind and down there in my heart that “life is simple, if we keep it that way”. But from past few months i doubt that life can look simple from outside but as we start to get inside it is web that is so complicated that you don’t even know where you are and why are you here and where you want to go and how to go there.
My father always said that the toughest problem in world, has a very simple answer that we know but never want to realize.
Few hours ago, I thought
I am stuck, I am stucked in deciding what i want from my life, what i want to do. I am about to enter my final year of college, My friends will start getting job about few weeks from now , or they will go for higher studies and here i am one who hates “Job” and has no interest in studying as i am afraid of grades, marks, competition, unemployment, here i am one who failed with a team in building a product that would have made commuting easy, whose whole team have left the college and are happy and want to be big, here i am a man with big aspiration from life but don’t know the way to be there, here i am a so called digital marketer who knows skills but is not able to use for his own idea, who wants to write to bring a change, but is unable to do it, here i am one who believes in destiny, good and bad omens and believes whatever happens, happens for the good, here i am one who reads everywhere believe in yourself, but is finding it difficult.
Just as i was to think more about it, I came across do videos titled — “Just Do It” and “Overthinking” and the answer to all questions.
In the video by Gary Vaynerchuk — “ College students, Just Do it”. A girl asked gary that she wants to do many things but is confused what to do — He answered very quickly and casually “ Just Do it” and explained You are very small, Just do what you want you have a lot of time try things and you will figure out what you want. He continued saying that the problem is the society in which you leave and you just have to get over their thinking and just do things.
It made me believe again, Life is simple if you follow it that way, the toughest problem that i have is Confusion and to overcome i just have to do things irrespective of result and what society thinks.
The other video i saw was by Rob Dial titled — “Overthinking”. In the video Rob said “Overthinking is an addiction that makes you lose control from your life, When you are overthinking you are overthinking about negative thoughts that can happen with you in future, when you are overthinking you are not living the present moment” and than he tells how to stop overthinking and live the present moment. I realized, I am addicted to think too much about my future, about what if i am lagged behind my friends, what if i become a loser. So, the simplest answer to this difficult problem was to live the current moment and i have heard it, read it and may be experienced it many times but may be never felt and realized it.
So, here i am just doing what i love to do “Writing” and living my present.
Yeah, I believe in destiny, good and bad omens may be will cover that in a later post.
Bye, have a Good Day — Just Do It and Don’t overthink. Do Follow me.
