Thinking has always been a tricky business. We overshoot realities because of optimism and ego, fail to consider what’s possible out of pessimism and anxiety. Those who seem not to think too carefully about the faults of their thinking often succeed where those who perseverate fail. It’s hard to sink a putt or shoot a free throw if you are overthinking it. And most of us overthink everything.
