What Writing Is Teaching Me to Take Responsibility for My Own Life?

Blaming others would not work. It’s my work; I have to do it. Whether it goes right or wrong, nothing else matters. The thing that matters is that I have to do it, there is nobody to do it on my behalf. This is the mentality that has been developing in me during these days. It is very obvious to ourselves that there is nobody responsible for our progress or failure. It’s just our own responsibility to do something for progress instead of failing by doing nothing.
When I started writing, it felt like heading towards taking my own responsibility. Before that, I was just blaming others for my problems and troubles. That mess was just the result of not taking my own responsibility. Instead, I was fully dependent on others to do my work. Lately, I have realised that it was no one’s fault except mine. If it was my work, then it was obvious that it had to be done by me. This was completely my fault.

Now the tables have turned. I understood that passengers are responsible for their own luggage. The more you focus on yourself, the more you will progress. I have stopped blaming others for my mess. Accepting that and working upon solutions for the mess is a kind of thinking that has been developing. Accepting mistakes makes me accountable to myself, and that helps me not repeat the same mistakes.

Almost a month is going to finish since I started writing blogs. I learned many things that made me responsible for my own actions. This has been possible because of the self-reflection I got after expressing myself in blogs. I didn’t make excuses not to write, and I didn’t fool myself by living unproductively. In fact, it teaches me something out of the box every second I spend while expressing myself honestly in blogs.

Excuses trouble us all. Consistent writing teaches me to catch the excuses that I was giving myself, which were creating trouble before. When I understood that excuses were just making me unproductive day by day, I decided on zero excuses for myself. This is building self-discipline. Expressing confidently without any fear is the result of that self-confidence.

I have realised lately that growth happens when accepting faults is not a one-day task, but a regular habit. Either it will be slow or fast, but it will end up helping you succeed.

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...
