Not only do we overthink issues or events, but we also become overly attached to the status quo.įinally, Hem and Haw found a huge stash of fancy, imported cheese down one corridor, at Cheese Station C. In “real” life, we too tend to overcomplicate things. And whenever the pair came up empty-handed, they became depressed, wondering if happiness would ever be attainable.
Yet with all this planning, they still often got confused, and sometimes lost their way. With their more “complex” brains, Hem and Haw worked out strategies to find cheese, memorizing the maze’s dark corners and blind alleys. Rather, they thought that finding cheese would make them feel happy and successful. Hem and Haw were also searching for cheese in the maze, but not because they were hungry. If there’s no cheese at the end of a path, for example, Sniff and Scurry simply turn around and scramble down another path – without wasting time being angry or frustrated. In fact, acting without thinking too much can save you time and energy.
This seemingly “brainless” way in which these two mice set about achieving their goal is instructive, and is often the most effective method in reaching your own goals. They instead spend their time running up and down the corridors of their maze, in search of cheese.
The two mice, Sniff and Scurry, don’t think about things too much.
