What Writing Is Teaching Me About Ownership?

"It's not me" to "It's me", all things changed, nothing remained the same. Here, both sentences are the same except for the word not, but it only distinguishes excuses and responsibilities. Excuses had not benefitted me, but when I stopped making excuses, I felt a sense of responsibility.

Responsibility not for others but for myself, to do something meaningful in life. The reason I asked myself, is there any skill within me, on the very first day before writing a blog. In initial days, I used to blame others and conditions for my laziness and frustration. But when I started writing, I learned the concept of ownership in our lives.

When control is in our hands, then why blame others? I remember when I wrote for a few days initially, I was frustrated seeing the grammatical errors and mistakes. But I didn't make excuses that time; I preferred to improve next time because I want to improve, not anyone else. Days passed and I could see some improvement in errors while rereading blogs, but I am still trying to be better.

Excuses had never benefitted my growth but had pulled me back. I remember an incident in which it hindered me from writing a blog. The incident happened around 3 weeks before. That day my brain gave an excuse to delay blog writing.

Whenever I made up my mind to start, second thoughts came that it would be done later. The day was going to be over, almost an hour was left. However, I wrote the blog in that time period. So the excuse to delay almost tried to fail me in following consistency.

Therefore, taking ownership of myself has helped me write better and grow. Showing up daily is not any compulsion but a choice. A choice to share words freely without any hesitation.

Now, whenever I write a blog, I am accountable to myself. I expect to be better every day. That's building a self-belief which gives me confidence to show up daily.

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...
