I often wonder where I would be in life now if I hadn't "overthought" so many decisions in my 42 years of life. I feel like I often got stuck at different points, and am even feeling that way now, because of "overthinking." That being said, I have a lot to be grateful for and have been able to "summit so many mountains" that were unattainable by my immigrant (and sacrificial) parents and their families. Perhaps I often get "paralysis by analysis" because as pointed out in the post, I tend to overanalyze each potential outcome of a business idea instead of just testing things out and moving forward. Thankfully, I did take some steps to co-found two previous companies, one of which got off the ground so I don't always stay "stuck." Currently, I'm thinking about how to channel society's consumption habits for good.
