Overthinking Is Your Enemy — Awareness Is Your Superpower

Sometimes We Shouldn’t Think Too Much

Sometimes we shouldn’t think too much about everything. Let me share a story with you.

I once travelled from Abu Road to Bangalore and almost missed my train — but even then, I didn’t allow overthinking to take over. Later, when I was going to catch a flight, I left my brother’s house late and got stuck in Bangalore traffic. Even then, I stayed calm. I didn’t let my mind create unnecessary stress.

From these moments, I learned that sometimes it’s better not to overthink. Our mind creates unnecessary worries, wrong ideas, and wrong judgments. Because of overthinking, we often make decisions that lead to regret. The mind traps us in a loop, feeding us confusing thoughts and negative scenarios. These thoughts pull us back instead of pushing us forward. It feels like being locked in a room, tied by chains — trying to escape but unable to move.

And the more attention we give to these dark thoughts, the more they keep us stuck. So sometimes, it’s better not to fight them. Let the thoughts come and go. Don’t think too much.

How I Escaped This State

1. I started accepting my own problems.
Accepting the truth is the first step.

2. I began reading books to distract my mind and focus on learning and work.

3. I started expressing myself through blogs and by talking to friends.

4. I began sharing things with my siblings and family, so I didn’t carry everything alone.

5. I stayed busy with business or work.
When you stay busy, your mind doesn’t waste energy on useless thoughts.

And if you read books, read only the ones that help your mind grow.

My Final Message

Never speak negatively to yourself. And don’t stay around people who talk only about problems and never offer solutions. Some people project their limitations onto others. They talk based on what they can or cannot do.

Let me share something from my own journey. When I used to work in my family’s granite business, it was difficult to explain my ideas to my family and business partners. They come from an older generation with their own style of working. But what they forget is that the market is changing, and we must grow with it. No one is perfect. People wait until things get worse, and only then they react.

If you want to build a business, you must accept the future. If you don’t, you won’t be ready for the challenges ahead. The world is getting tougher, and you have to get stronger. If you’re not in the right position, you will lose opportunities.

Awareness of the world is the most important thing.
If you don’t know what’s happening around you, you can’t win.
