Here's a secret: every time we find ourselves overthinking, it's actually an opportunity for growth! It means that there's something on our minds that we're not comfortable with yet.

And since discomfort is the only way we can grow personally (or professionally), this means that every time we feel uncomfortable with the way things are going in our lives—and then decide not to do anything about it—we're actually choosing to stay exactly where we are.

If we want to grow, we have to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. We have to be okay with feeling a little bit out of control, and not knowing what's going to happen next. Only then can we start moving forward in our lives.

Everything you want in your life is outside of your current scope of who you are and what you're doing... if it wasn’t, then you’d already have it. So, if you're not pushing yourself to take uncomfortable action, it's going to take some external event to force you to make a change. I don't know about you, but I'd rather control my own destiny by taking action even when I’m afraid than letting the rest of the world decide for me.
