What Writing Is Teaching Me About Delayed Gratification?

No one can expect the unexpected. I was not aware of this till I started writing my experiences. All I knew was that we could expect whatever is based on our work or preparations. But these days I learned one more important thing related to it; i.e., satisfaction. I felt it very lately or had not experienced much of it.
I started writing blogs with the myth that writing would be easy. Well, I was wrong; it is very difficult and requires a lot of creativity. But that myth I started with made me believe that efforts would give instant results. The bubble burst when I published blogs continuously for a week.

I got frustrated after seeing negligible response. But I thought calmly about this. I explained the situation to myself with the scenario of exams. Whenever we have exams, do our results come early? No, they don’t. This made me think to forget about the response and continue writing.

However, at that time, patience was negligible within me. But frustration was useless at that time, and also satisfaction and frustration are enemies of each other. So I started writing calmly without any craving for response. I was happy after some days when I saw a little bit of growth.

I was improving my grammatical errors. It gave me joy but not satisfaction, because both are very different. You could be happy but not satisfied. But when you are satisfied, joy would accompany it.

I enjoy writing whatever I feel is right and share it. I read my former blogs just to avoid mistakes while writing further blogs. It gives me joy but not satisfaction. Just like for all, applause gives me satisfaction. But writing without it is a real task which I am trying to do.

I am trying to improve day by day, hoping for the best response.

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...
