We have come, as such, to expect instant gratification. We want what we want, and we want it NOW. We get caught up in our mundane routines, and we let them
Do you overthink things? This is a very important question, because knowing the answer makes a tremendous difference in how and where you find satisfaction in life. I often remark that my inner skeptic gets in the way of my plans. But more realistically, I think, it is my tendency to overthink. What exactly is overthinking?
