一直以來心中總有股莫名的焦慮感，擔心自己無法徹底發揮天職，
想不停開發與探索我的天賦，總認為生命的賦予必有它的目的，
我帶著使命來到世界，我能為這世界傳遞什麼、做些什麼？
於是想透過閱讀來尋求答案...
在閱讀了《一天只花一塊美金》，由美國一對夫妻實驗了為期一個月，每天只允許自己花費一美元在三餐伙食上，想藉此體驗貧困人民在有限的資金下如何度日。而看似單純的實驗，卻引出世界糧食分配不均、飲食過量及浪費、貧富差距等棘手議題。我也才頓悟自己是多麼幸福，雖然並非出身富裕家庭，但也從來不愁吃穿，父母總盡全力給予我們最好的資源。我們雖然抱怨著臺灣薪資倒退，但所幸我們的國家沒有戰爭、糧荒等問題，大多數的人只要肯工作，薪水應該都有辦法維持生計，進而追求自我潛能發揮及自我實現。
我闔上讀到一半的書，想細細咀嚼那些讓我心有所感的文字，同時我環顧房間四周，看著那件件懸掛著的乾淨禦寒衣物，一罐罐陳列在梳妝台上的保養品、正蓋在大腿上那件以抵擋10度C寒流襲擊的棉被、一本本夾帶著重要資訊等著我翻閱的書籍和那杯裝著溫開水的保溫壺......
我，究竟在焦慮些什麼...？習慣過度思考的大腦，對於身心靈完全沒有任何助益，而總是把注意力放在己身，繞著自己旋轉時，越容易感到痛苦。
但當開始思考該如何利用己身之力來貢獻、幫助他人及社會時，似乎能獲得更多的滿足與成就感...
若你和我一樣受「過度思考」而苦，現在開始請停止思考成千上萬個「假設性問題」，因為過度思考並不能改變任何事情，唯有行動。當你真正行動的時候，你會發現有很多「想法」根本沒有存在的意義。
期許自己不再受侷限於「過度思考」以及它的產物「恐懼」，找回內在平靜與平衡，享受當下時刻。
There has always been an inexplicable sense of anxiety in my heart, I am worried that what if I can not find my calling in life? I would like to continuously develop and explore my natural talents. I always think that the giving of life must have its purpose. I brought my mission to the world and how can I deliver it to the world? So I want to find the answers by reading ......
After reading "On a Dollar a Day," a month-long experiment by an American couple, allowed only one dollar a day per person for three meals, trying to experience how poor people can spend their days with limited money. The seemingly simple experiment leads to thorny issues such as the uneven distribution of food in the world, excessive and wasteful eating, and the gap between the rich and the poor... I just realized that how a lucky person I am. Although I was not from a wealthy family but I have never suffered from hunger or anything. My parents always tried their best to give us the best resources. Although in Taiwan we complain about the retrogression of wages, we are fortunate that there is no war or no food shortage in our country. Most people, as long as they are willing to work, should have enough salaries for living, so as to pursue their own potentials and self-fulfillment.
I closed my book halfway through the book, trying to chew the words that made me feel at heart, at the same time I looked around the room, looked at those clean, warm clothing hanging there, all the beauty products, the blanket which covered on my legs to withstand the 10 degrees cold attack, the books carrying important information waiting for me to read and the insulation kettle filled with warm water... Where the heck is this anxiety from? The brain, accustomed to over-thinking, has no help at all for body and mind. When we over focus on ourselves, the more painful it is to rotate around oneself. But when we start to think about how we can contribute to help others and to our society, it seems that we can get more satisfaction and achievement ...
If you, like me, suffer from "over-thinking," please from now on stop pondering the thousands of "hypothetical problems" because over-thinking does not change anything but action. When you really act, you will find that there are many "ideas" that do not exist at all. I wish myself no longer limited to "over-thinking" and its product "fear", to recover the inner peace and balance and enjoy the moment.
