My Head Hurts

Paralysis by analysis (PBA) is one of the quickest ways to give yourself a splitting headache.  We tend to over think things to the point that we can give ourselves a nice temple pounder.  We try too hard to find the answer that is glaring right at us, we attempt to find or fabricate an answer that’s not there at all, or we do not like the answer we see and look for one we like.  We get in our head that there has to be a concrete answer or reason for everything we experience when in reality, there just sometimes isn’t an answer.  My opinion is that we are some conditioned to think there is a reason and cause for everything that we work ourselves up into a feeding frenzy chasing the reason or cause.  Sometimes we really make it harder than it has to be.  Rather than getting hung up on why, think of it in terms of what do I do with this?  Skip the PBA and go straight for the PBR.  Oh wait, that leads to another type of headache.
