“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
Bruce Lee
Here I will write about the one thing that blocked me in my efforts to achieve goals. It is the habit of spending too much time in thinking about the action, instead of working on goals.
Yes, thinking is the thing that blocked me the most. However strange it may sound 
It is important to be aware that the only time that we have to achieve our goals is – the present moment You have a lot of current moments that can be used for positive change and progress. If you use these moments just for thinking, it would have little impact on you’r practical growth.
To be successful in achieving goals, it is important to recognize what slows down you in the achievement of your goals.
How can we slow down the achievement of our goals?
Well, first of all instead of working to create positive change, we do not change anything. It could be called to be blocked. Use the present moments that we have, for something that is not our goal. Waste of time.
Remember! No matter how good or bad goals are, they are achieved only at one time – the present.
This is a list of things that have blocked me in my work on the goals.
· Care about irrelevant things – in many cases we are not even aware of how concerns can slows down the realization of your goals. Instead of working on goals, you spend your time at concerns about what will happen in the future. That will not help you. Most likely you will get sick from stress.
· Jealousy – you can be jealous of other people’s achievements and to be blocked by that. Always to be upset because someone has something and you do not have. Again, you waste time on unimportant things.
· Fear – fear is something that will probably block most of your efforts to your goals. How to cope with fear? Very easy. Do what you are afraid to do. Action kills fears.
· Fear of failure – this is a separate fear, which resolves by recognize that the failure is nothing “bad”, it is only an opportunity to learn something new from that failure. In this way you will learn much more than in any other way, like reading books etc.
· Wish that everything must be perfect – if you strive to always be perfect, then you will always be careful not to do something wrong. And since you can not be perfect, you will be inactive rather than active in your objectives. For more information see here.
· Uncertainty – you need to be determined and sure of your intentions. If you constantly feel insecure, and again and again turn negative assumptions in mind, you probably will not be able to push to work on your goals.
But, the source of all these things, absolutely first place in my life by how it block the achievement of my goals, is too much analysis and thinking. I think I already talked about that here, but this is very important.
Imagine that you have found something about which you are enthusiastic. Decide that you will be focus to that thing. It becomes your goal. And then the next 2 hours you just think about it. What could be, what would not, where the hidden dangers, which are disadvantages of your decision, the advantages, if you really want it or not, where will it happen, and possible scenarios, and visions and so on.
But the truth is that you’ll be closer to the realization of an idea if you works to it 2 minutes, then if you think about it 2 hours.
Don`t understand me wrong, I do not want to say that you should not think before making decisions. Even, you should find a better way to do it. But I say that one should not think too much when the decision was made.
It is not necessary to think too much when you already made a decision about the change. Take the action!
I write about this subject because this is my big disadvantage, and I want to get rid of it.
Just see how much time you have lost due to too much thinking.
To say it this way…
Is it true that a salespeople could destroy their chances with you if he/she talk too much about their product?
Would salespeople who talk too much lost their jobs? Who else wants to listen about a single product 3, 4, 5 hours?
Would you attracted more by briefly presentation, but honestly and where they are proceed to the matter, or long presentation in which the speaker get carried away while you sleep? Probably in that case you would turn off your brain…
Just as the salespeople sabotage its sale by his / her too long story, you sabotage your action (and goals) by thinking too much. In the end you get bored with so much thinking and turn off your brain.
That does not mean that you should not watch out for details. Of course you should. But you will have best insight about the details if you work on your idea.
Conclusion
The only thing you can do in this case, is to recognize the moment when you thinking too much, and then ask yourself if it takes you closer to your goal or just waste time of achieving goals.
Of course, on many things you need to think well before starting action, but in many cases you only lose time to work on changes, and positive growth.
Awareness will help you to keep away this habit. So, consider, decide and go. Everything else will solve on the road.
