Writing Made Me Learn to Sit with Discomfort.

Should I continue writing facing discomfort? I thought this while writing blogs in the initial days. After thinking a lot, I came to a conclusion. I thought writing blogs is more important than facing discomfort or having comfort. We always want comfort while doing anything in life. But facing discomfort while doing our work is something we don’t like. But I would say having discomfort matters more than doing anything with ease. It helps us to learn a lot.

Few days back, I shared about a sudden device shutdown. I had not saved the file before. I lost everything written in the blog. That was purely a discomfort to me. Hard work of almost one and a half hour was wiped out within few seconds. There was sudden frustration, but I got cooled down within the next few seconds. I motivated myself again and wrote the blog again. That day I got to know about one important aspect of life. I learned discomfort is natural to all of us. But the thing that matters is to do work without worrying about it. It would make you learn something new every time. This is just a small example of having discomfort while writing. But facing it and working again made me learn the lesson.

I write blogs without thinking for comfort. I had stopped waiting for the perfect start to write. While writing, perfection would come automatically to me. Facing that discomfort of mind, I decided to write without any worry. I came to understand about the basic principle to be free from worries. I learned that discomfort is something which is not in our control. And if it’s not in our control, then why should we focus on it? Instead, we should continue doing our work. That’s the thing that’s in our control. Doing something which is in our control would help us to succeed.

Previously, I was having comfort in life. I didn’t have to write daily blogs. But the day I started, I was facing discomfort for the first time while writing. Previously, what I thought about writing is looking like a myth to me. Now I understood it’s not an easy task to express your thoughts with full honesty. But this has been possible for me because I was stubborn about writing consistency. I had faced various problems while writing. On various days, I was not motivated enough to write. But the stubbornness in me to face challenges daily is provoking me to write blogs consistently without a single worry.

Writing gave me courage to work without worrying about discomfort. The stubbornness to write daily is the result of that courage. I have learned that discomfort would be there to stop you from succeeding. But when you face it with courage and keep working toward your goal without overthinking, real growth happens in life.
