Each morning my parents and I have been reading a meditation book with a paragraph or two that gives us food for thought to carry throughout the day. This morning the first line was, “Beware of overthinking things.” My dad talked about the importance and need to look at things from all angles before making a decision. I agree to some extent, but I can make myself crazy thinking and rethinking things over and over again. The message was to live in the present moment, not worrying, and putting your attention on God who has you in the palm of His hand. Later in the day, my brother called. He has been taking an online course and has been talking about starting his own business. I was glad we were on video chat so we could see his excitement as he told us that he took the steps to begin his business. He settled on a name, websites, tag line, and description. As we talked, he said that he had recently watched a workshop about getting started and the advice was, “Don’t overthink it.” It was very helpful to him and got him motivated. We figured today’s meditation was meant specifically for him.

I Found God today in my brother’s example of not overthinking things.
