For years, I’ve stopped myself from doing what I wanted to do because I think or overthink too much the situation and ignore my gut always. I always think before I acted. And sometimes I didn’t even act at all to avoid bad outcomes but I never would have really knew what the real outcome would have been if I never tried. They say you can do anything you set your mind to and the only person that can stop you is yourself. Thinking has cause me to discourage myself and give up on my desires in life. I recently heard an interview on how thinking affects your confidence and your ability to trust your gut and made me think on how true that is. I saw a movie called “Top Gun Maverick” and the line that is motivating me to go in a new direction is this one…”Don’t think. Just do.” The mindset of being “The Chooser” has also been brought to my attention on how I should focus on putting myself first and how things make me feel and if they benefit me. Do I really want this? Does doing this really make me happy? Before I use to just be attracted to women but never ask myself is this truly what I want? I always concern myself with am I good enough for her instead now I ask is she a good fit for me? I learn the difference between attraction and a spark. Attraction just means I’m attracted towards them because of how they look and try to be with them but they not reciprocating the same energy or giving me a reason to continue to talk to them I was just chasing. A spark however is getting to know the person your interested in and knowing more about them if they have what your looking for. If they reciprocate the energy always and give you a reason to want them. I’m approaching dating now with a mindset of instead of having to do something to now CHOOSING to do something. If I feel it and I start listening to my gut then I’m now choosing to act. I’m not letting my mind and brain hold me back anymore by having me think so much on something that could lead me in another direction now I’m in the driver’s seat and I decide what happens. I’m choosing what happens next and not letting other people or situations determine what happens to me next. No absolutely not!
