Thinking is serious business and so is acting based on what we have thought.

Overthinking is a crippling thing. When we are sure that we have thought something through, we should start with a plan of action. We must start taking baby steps toward the desired result. Any sort of action will generate feedback. The feedback can be positive or negative, but it is a place to start.

However, what happens when we keep on thinking and do not do anything, then there is no progress to measure the outcome. Thinking and not doing anything, then we won’t be able to measure our progress and make improvements. Our goal should be to think and act, rather than just think without any concrete steps.

The dangers of doing or saying something without thinking can also not be overstated. Anything we do should go through the process of clear thinking to assess the pros and cons.
