Too Cautious, Too Dangerous

Tweet

I was warned by some friends and even a professor that my being too cautious would be not good for me. I was alarmed. I thought I am doing well. I thought I am shaping myself to be "perfect" in the things I do. I over think. I over reflect. That's the danger comes in. I have been to conscious of what is the right thing to do, of what is going to happen if i do this and that, of what will be the future. I tend to forget how to seize the day, how to enjoy the moment I have now, and how to appreciate the present. I even limit myself to experience lots of things. Too cautious... I guess I should not be like that. To learn is to experience. Trying to be perfect would not help me to be the best person that I can be. Or maybe it will. But it won't really make me an interesting person.
