Is it healthier to think about life or just getting on with it?

It seems there are certain rules we could follow. Perhaps the most important rule is to be one's self. Wayne Dyer quoted "Key to Self-Actualization" from Abraham Maslow who mentioned something like: a)"Be independent of the good opinion of other people." Maslow also mentioned something like: b)"Make no investment in power over other people." ( not seeking to gain personal control of others.) Finally, Maslow mentioned something like: c)"Have no attachment to the outcome." (doing my best based on what I really am.)- external results are not as important as foremostly being (internally) my self. Perhaps I would say we best get on with our life following the above three rules to achieve self-actualization. Perhaps if we align ourselves with the Infinite Intelligence, we would profoundly surprise ourselves with what we can become a)When we are bold enough to be ourselves and so be immune to peer or social pressure. b)When we do not seek to oblige people to do as we want them to do. c)When we just do our best based on what we really are - without seeking fame or fortune. Perhaps that's the best way to get on with our life. What do you think?
