Jiminy Cricket Syndrome...

jiminy cricket syndrome: the delusional feeling that one can have regarding the belief that if you wish for something hard enough, it will come true.

as the days go by, i'm fearing more and more that i'm suffering from 'the syndrome.' as much as i think i know what i need to do to really get my life together, i find myself constantly feeling bogged down with so many little things that individually don't matter much; but as a whole, really bog me down. it's funny though, or maybe ironic is the word, because i often feel like me and jiminy spend a lot of time chatting in my head. the whole weighing of pros and cons is much easier when you have someone to talk to about it, that won't talk back. i promise i'm not schizo, but we all have those bouts of deep thought with ourselves, mine just happen to be with a little imaginary cricket.

and during this deep search for truth, i've reached for influence in places that i don't normally search; one of which is the horoscope column. over the last 2 or 3 months, i've really paid attention and have read my horoscope just about everyday. today's really hit me hard, and is what has spawned this blog entry. it read:

"Your challenge today is paying attention to the details without being overwhelmed by them. On one hand, you're ready to charge ahead but your common sense approach requires you to have all the information you need before making a final decision. This could be a smart idea, but what if there's no end to the incoming stream of data? If you feel overwhelmed, just choose what seems best and move on. Your intuition is better than you think."

now if i could just get myself to believe it. i've always been an over-thinker when it came to personal stuff and now i'm beginning to think it's a weakness- one that i need to overcome, quickly.
