At times when I am thinking it's like I'm thinking nothing but what bad is going to happen next ? Thus missing longer bouts of feeling good because the negative thinking is eating it away piece by piece , day by day. If one says they are going to make a sandwich , it usually happens and quite quickly . When I see something I think is never going to happen , impossible , so to speak . It will never happen because I think it never will , therefore , it most likely never will happen. Taking action on these seemingly impossible feats is the one step I never take . Sometimes actions can get you into some trouble . But without actions they are just thoughts. Thoughts to remember but to have never truly experienced . For example , if I see a woman who I find attractive and want to know more about her . My mind goes into fantasy mode . Fantasies are good I think . Many of us will have fantasies , whether it be that new dream house or car , the perfect relationship , or sexual desires . Our imaginations can run wild . I know mine can at times , but I say if it's not hurting anyone else then enjoy your fantasies. Getting back to actions . If I or we don't make even the small attempt to make things happen . It could be a long unhappy life for some of us . I was thinking of writing this and took action , although my actions might seem like at attempt to get better . It is working , for the moment anyhow . Now back to reality

Good writing! It took me five years oof fantasizing to do five minutes of work to change the lousy toilet seats in our bathrooms. Now, that is an issue of too much thought over action My in-laws were great at the can't-do attitude -"It's no use" should have been wrought in steel and put over the gate-way to this farm. Other things I think of doing, and they are done, like the green house, planting fruit trees, the flower beds... go figure. Well written, chris! Now, off my buns and out to walk the dog! HUGGS!

I really enjoyed what you wrote because i am too very gulity of just thinking and not doing. One thing that i have to do is get back in school. I think about it everyday but yet never take the aciton that i need. I find myself saying there is always tomorrow, i will call tomorrow, well why put off what you can do today for tomorrow, right?

(Nature) You are not alone in your thinking vs doing.

I often over think things to the point of ridiculousness with no action at all. The bad thing is I tell myself "Just do it and get it over with" but I can never seem to muster the energy or ump to take the first step.

I have fantasies as well, mostly of things I would like to do or be, knowing good and well they will never come true. But it's nice to have your own little world in your mind where you can escape from time to time. At least I think so.
