Animal Instinct

They say too much thinking is never a good thing. There are people that say if you think long you think wrong. And to a large degree, they are right. After all we are still animals, and animals act on instinct. Often, we try to deny that we are still just animals, I think because we like to think we are above such things. Let's face it, sometimes there are people that must overcome thinking too much. I should know, I've always been an over-thinker. As humans, we've been given a very powerful minds. We probably have one of the best, if not the best mental capacities of in all of the animal kingdom. If you ask me, there are times when we let it give us big heads. Anyway, needless to say our urge to over think at times can be very strong. I know, from personal experience, I tend to be one of those people that thinks out almost every action. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of times when I was glad, because it prevented me from making a rash decision. But then there were times when it held me back. And then there were times when I wished I would have acted more rashly. However, when you think about it, you can't live life with regrets about past decisions. After all it is the best and it's not gonna do you any good. You gotta just take things as a lesson, learn from them, and just keep on truckin'.
