What Writing Is Teaching Me About Making Peace With Slow Growth?

Everything was going smoothly, but I was unable to see growth. Suddenly, one day, I started questioning my path. Am I going right? was the exact question I was asking myself. It was not self-doubt, but a self-talk to get clarity about the efforts I had put into writing. I was troubling myself and disturbing my mental peace in this situation. It was not a new thing for me to trouble myself and overthink a lot about mishappenings or anything that gives me stress.


Silence is the best tool to get answers to your questions. I used the same to get an answer to whether I was going right or not. The problem lay in comparison. I was troubling myself because I was comparing myself to others instead of my old self. I concluded that day to not compare myself with others, but with myself only. I decided that I would compare my growth with my former self.

When this mentality changed, my growth became visible to me. I noticed that I was not doing anything productive in the past, but now guess what? I had changed myself to do something valuable in my life. I had started writing blogs from the day I decided to change. I was completely changed from a lazy fellow who loved to enjoy doing nothing. I am learning new, out-of-the-box things every day that I express through blogs. Slow growth was there, which I was not seeing earlier.

Relief is the best feeling in the world. I felt it after thinking about my growth; a sudden happiness which brought peace to me. Now every question about growth feels invalid to me. The day I stopped comparing myself to others gave me peace and patience. Patience to wait for others to see my growth. I am committing mistakes, I am working upon them, and I am trying to improve in my next blogs.

I have learned in these days about the importance of consistency in life. The day I started writing blogs was the day I gave my small effort to do something productive. Expressing myself to you guys about my day-to-day learning continuously is the result of that consistency. This shows me growth as compared to my older versions. I know growth is not visible to us in the initial days, but consistent efforts make it visible to all.

Small things matter to me. For a plant to become a strong tree that stands tall, roots should be strong. Slow growth is making my roots strong through discipline, consistency, starting without hesitation, self-belief, confidence, and much more. All this is possible because of no chaos and complete peace. The mental clarity I got motivates me to continue writing.

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...
