What Writing Is Teaching Me About Letting Go of Control?

I wanted outcomes favourable to me, that was the mindset I had before. But it was not giving me something fruitful. I introspected myself for the reason; I found many. But there was one which was common among all, i.e., controlling the outcome. Later, I realised that outcome is something which I can’t dominate. My part is till doing efforts, whether they will give results or not. My effort should be up to the mark, as I have the power to give my 100 percent. Letting go of control helped me learn why things are the way they are.

Before even doing something productive, I liked to dominate my outcomes. I wanted them according to me; something ridiculous, I realise now. Non-favourable results were giving me stress. I was trapped in a loop of questions and thoughts of unfavourable results. It was demotivating me. Writing gave me a space to get rid of always thinking about favourable outcomes.

The space writing provided to me gave me clarity to accept things. I accept my mistakes and my results. I work on myself to improve next time. I read some of my former blogs where I realised I had made some mistakes. Now I try my best not to repeat those mistakes again. It motivates me to express myself with more improvement. Accepting the need to improve, putting full effort, and not thinking about results is making me trust the process, which is making me productive.

I started sharing my thoughts without thinking about perfection. I started to dominate my effort in writing. Quality improved day by day, which I am witnessing now. Dominating efforts instead of outcomes gave me clarity to think better day by day. The wait for perfection will come to an end one day. I know it will come to me with consistent efforts. The shift from controlling results to focusing on effort changed everything unexpectedly.

If I had waited for that perfection, I would not be writing blogs today. Focusing on dominating what you can control can help you achieve your goals faster.

I am learning to focus on efforts instead of responses. I will appreciate your feedback in the comments.

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear. I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth? Why d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity. Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing. Daily writing play...
