I think too much. I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned this various times, but I feel like this is something that I want to talk about on here. I'm very detailed oriented and if I've learned anything over the past fifteen years, it would be that:
Thinking is good, but don't think too much.
The definition of "thinking too much" seems to be different for everyone. If I was Aristotle or Plato, thinking would be a great thing. They are known for being some of the world's greatest philosophers. 21 Pilots has a lyric, "I've been thinking too much, help me" and that's what I'm talking about.
I think to the point where I just get stressed out. (That was an unintentional 21 Pilots reference, I SWEAR.) I get so anxious worrying about all of the little details rather than focusing on the greater picture.
I would love to say that this little bit of wisdom is something that I live out every day, but that's so not true. This is something I struggle with everyday, which is why it made this list.
When I was in eighth grade, I got my purity ring from a leader I looked up to in Junior High Ministry. The ring itself says "be still" and engraved on the out of the ring it has the verse "Be still and know that I am God." It's nice to have this on a ring because I wear it everyday and it's a constant reminder that I just need to let go of my worries and give them to Him. I think that I've definitely learned that thinking too much and worrying about every minuscule detail is lame. God can handle it and he wants to take care of us. (I may or may not have started humming the song "Take On Me" while I was typing this particular phrase.)
Anywho, that's my blog post for today, see ya back here tomorrow pals!
Much Love,
