It has sometimes been suggested that I "think too much." I think that this is a curious statement. How much should a person think? I taught a class once for high school students about metacognition - the class was focused on thinking about thinking. I loved it.
The mind is an incredible thing. It is like a magic carpet that can transport us anyone we want to go. If you can think it, you can be it. All things, aside from those in the natural world, begin as thought. Some religions even suggest that the earth and sky began as a thought in the mind of God.
And yet as powerful as our thoughts are they cannot bring us lasting peace. Peace only exists in the space between the thoughts. In order to live there we have to sometimes step off of the magic carpet.
