As I was reading Zen in the Art of Archery today by Eugen Herrigel I came upon a quote I liked in which he states,
"Why try to anticipate in thought what only experience can teach?"
I liked it because I think a lot of people put too much thought into things. We analze things again and again and more times than not it tends to get us no where. I know I certainly suffer from this. My mom always told me, "Quit thinking about it so much and just enjoy yourself." It is hard to apply that advice though but reminders are helpful.
