Time to act and time to reflect

The process of reflecting can seem very useful and comforting when used wisely, yet it can be very deceiving sometimes. 

Some people have this habit of using reflection method to evade the actual action which is required in the moment. It then becomes a glorified form of procrastination. You are thinking like a wise person and life passes you by. If you have means to do that, by all means do that. You are mostly not creating any issues for anyone just by reflecting in your heart.    

But not every person has this liberty to just endlessly reflect. For a normal common person, there are times when you just need to live your life. Take actions on things and just go about your business. But instead of doing that, some people get stuck in the process of reflecting about things which are not actually there and lose specious time which could have been used for their and their familie's wellness and progress. 

Life keeps flowing and you have to keep flowing in it to be in sync. Especially, when you’re trying to achieve some real world success, also known as material success. Success which can help you and your dependents survive. Not caring about money and material things seem great and romantic to some but not when your family or closed ones are craving for basic things required to live a normal, respectful life.

But if you are compulsively getting stuck into this process of endless self-reflection, then you definitely need to think about some strategies to cope better with it.

One solution to this problem is to learn better compartmentalisation. You may be a person who can not help your habit of getting slipped into endless web of thoughts, shouldn’t mean you can’t get a success you deserve. You just need to learn to teach your mind to focus on the regular tasks of your life and career when needed.
