What Writing Is Teaching Me About Not Comparing My Journey?

No matter what others had done, what they are doing, or what they will do, the thing that matters is how I am doing. If I am going well, then why worry about thinking of problems? My writing journey has been great till date, going on at its own pace. Daily small moments and incidents help me learn things, whether it's about confidence, belief, efforts, blankness, and much more.

One day I tried writing something different after reading others' blogs, but I found my writing lost while expressing myself. They were not my learnings or experiences that I was writing. I deleted that file and wrote what I am learning on my journey. That is when I got different perspectives on comparison.

I am not saying I didn't compare myself; I do, but only with myself. As I always write, every coming day must be better than the previous day. For me, every single forward step matters. Going for two or three steps at once might make me fall from the stairs of growth.

While writing for the first few days, doubts did knock on my brain's door. The thought that whatever is going to happen will happen, but I will improve for sure, didn't allow any doubts to enter my brain and affect my blog writing.

But to improve and grow, does comparison matter? For me, it's yes, but not with others. Whenever I try to compete with myself, I become more aware of myself. I acknowledge my flaws and their scope for being better next time.

The best part is, I am my own critic. I read my old blogs not to remember them as memories, but to find out where I made mistakes, where I might have written better, or chosen better words or sentences to describe my emotions and thoughts.

Everyone has their own pace and direction. Thinking doesn't match; every writer is different. I compare with myself and no one else. I started writing blogs for myself, not to share others' views and thoughts. Comparing with others only creates pressure and overthinking that affect thoughts.

Writing has taught me to trust the process over rushing during this time period. Consistency over speed helps me remain authentic.

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...
