There is a new process being born.
It’s taking place inside my mind.
It stems from two opposing views,
Two views that I took to their extremes.
One being that you need to be mindful,
Mindful and aware of everything and everyone.
The other being that you can’t overthink it.
Sometimes you have to just get things done.
I took that to its extreme.
I stopped thinking about what needed to be done.
Instead, I just got it done.
That was working for me too.
I learned a lot more about discipline.
This new change is something that I seek,
A combination of two ways of existing.
It isn’t enough to act without thinking,
Yet thinking alone is useless.
Thoughtful action must come next.
A balance I’ll find.
Because action without thought leads to recklessness,
And thought without action leads to paralysis.
I’ve lived both. I’ve felt both.
Now, I want to master both.
This is the shift I’m making—
Not just moving forward blindly,
Not just analyzing endlessly,
But stepping with purpose.
Every moment is a chance to refine this process.
To sharpen my awareness without hesitation,
To execute without being thoughtless.
It’s an art—one that takes time to perfect.
And I have the time.
I will move forward with discipline,
With intention,
With an understanding that overthinking will rob me,
And so will mindless motion.
A balance.
That’s what I seek now.
That’s what I will find.
