What 100 days of writing taught me about myself?

I never gave up despite facing hesitation, confusion, blankness, laziness, fear of judgement and much more. I never chose continuity as my option but my necessity. It started with expressing with honesty and continued with exploring myself, giving a strong voice to stand for myself. It's not a journey but a process which doesn't have an end.

The one who never knew his potential transformed into a better self-observer. Now, writing has given me a reflection of myself, both within and outside. Trusting the process has helped me experience something new every single day. Whether it was about creative exhaustion or resistance, I didn't stop exploring myself more and more.


I never expected I would get some of the most incredible learnings of my life. I knew hesitation, overthinking, confusion, fear; but wasn't aware of the process to take them down. Writing became that process to win over each of them.

Mistakes are quite common for me. But never acknowledging them was the worst habit I had earlier. But as I said, on this journey of giving a voice to myself, I faced them bluntly without any excuses. I didn't know how much I improved but know what flaws have to be avoided.

On this journey, motivation fades after a few days, but consistency is holding my finger like a father holds his child's. Enthusiasm only gave a foundation to the journey, but stability came when I expressed on regular days. There were many days when overthinking forced me to give up, but firmness didn't allow me to do so.

Writing myself was not about the content but more about myself; for my clarity, observation, learnings, and way of seeing things. The better I write, the more I get answers to my confusion. I remember what I mentioned in my first blog: whatever is going to happen will happen, but I will improve for sure. I observe that spark of being better on this journey every single day.

I didn't start by being perfect but with imperfections and complexity. I realised I didn't need to have perfect thoughts but authentic ones. Chasing perfection was never my priority, but becoming better with every passing day was.

I am not the same person as I was on the first day of writing a blog. Confidence has an upper hand over hesitation and fear of judgement, which is not letting me fall back. Courage, being a partner, has allowed me to express confidently.

This isn't the end of the 100th day but the beginning of the evolution that I want.

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...
