I am young and I want to learn a lot. You only live once! Carpe Diem! But to a “doer” like myself those words are petrol to the flame of my driveness.

This morning I realized that I would actually learn more if I did less, because I would be able to reflect more on what is happening around me and understand the subtleties of my life and circumstances. My thoughts are often not deep enough because I immediately want to apply them. For me personally, doing more is not helping me learn more, it’s making me think less.

Now I have to learn this – because this very blog post is a symptom of my tendency to want to turn my thoughts to “action” rather than think deeper about them.
