Never give up; you never know until you try.
I wrote a post a year ago entitled, "Think!" Now, I'm telling you to not think too much. What's up with that? The other post was about . . . (Hey, go read it!) This one is about . . . (Keep reading!)
As anyone who really knows me knows, I readily admit to liking "chick flicks," especially holiday-themed ones. One of my favorites is "Undercover Christmas," wherein an FBI agent ends up taking a witness he has in protective custody home to his parents' house for Christmas. You know how these movies always turn out, so I'll spare you the details. Today's post title comes from something the witness, Brandi, says a couple times in the movie, and I think it can be good advice.
Like overworking dough, oversteering a car, or over-medicating, over-thinking can lead to bad results. I've written about it before--that dreaded malady of "analysis paralysis." I could break the writer's cardinal rule to avoid clichés and not say avoid the malady of thinking too much like you'd avoid the plague, but I won't. You get my point.
Check out the movie "Undercover Christmas" if you're a fan of Christmas, romance, or any of the actors in the cast: Jami Gertz, Shawn Christian, Cameron Bancroft, Tyne Daly, and Winston Rekert.

We're really good at over-thinking things, aren't we? Sometimes it's easier to just go on faith and 'do.'
