Let me tell you a story of Mulla Nasruddin first

 Let me tell you a story of Mulla Nasruddin first.

Mulla Nasruddin was dreaming that someone had counted nine gold pieces into his hand, but Mullah insisted that he would not accept less than ten pieces. While he was arguing with the man over one gold piece, he was awakened by a sudden noise in the street.

Seeing that his hand was empty, Mulla Nasruddin quickly closed his eyes, extended his hand as if he was ready to receive, and said—‘Very well, my friend, have it your way. Give me nine.’

Thinking and dreaming are extremely addictive because they provide you instant gratification as

• You can do anything in your thoughts
• You can be anything in your thoughts
• You can defeat anyone in your thoughts
• You can blame anyone in your thoughts

While you may not be able to win even an election of your small housing society, you can still dream to become a PM or a President of your country.

The moment a dreamer opens his eyes and face the reality, he feels depressed because the reality looks so barren and unattractive to him.

Hence, he again closes his eyes to the Surreality and go back to the world of his dream where he can have whatever he wants.

The remedy for overthinking is to give wings to your thoughts in the real world.

Get going with your thoughts by translating them to actions.

There may be failures in the real actions, which you don’t face in your dreams, but there are real glories and lasting achievements in the real world when you act.

When you start acting on your thoughts, you would soon be able to get the real gold coins in the world which shall never vanish even when you open your eyes.

Let your thoughts and actions get aligned with each other.

Let them become partners and friends to each other so that they start complementing each other and cheer each other to their respective glory.
