The Comfort of Not Having All the Answers: Learning to Accept Uncertainty

-
Image
Silence, silence, and more silence- it's the thing I enjoy most. Being eager was a choice, but silence was my necessity. I didn't lose answers; I just stopped needing them. Calmness encourages me to be patient and curiosity to ask questions; however, writing gave me the courage to be calm while being curious. Not knowing didn't make me feel incomplete. Not every flaw needs to be improved; some are complete by being incomplete. Questions and flaws do exist, but they don't disturb me now. Every experience is questionable, but not every question is answerable; being a question has been a great answer to my journey. I found peace in uncertainty instead of clarity. The writing journey has been quite uncertain from the start. What I would observe, I didn't know; what I would reflect, I didn't know; what I would improve, I didn't know. However, I knew what I didn't want- the eagerness to know everything instantly. It's the only clarity I have be...

When the Process Takes Over: How Letting Go of Control Transformed My Growth

-
I didn’t lose control- I just stopped trying to control the process. Enjoying the experiences with some flaws and learnings every day. Trusting the process made me a much more self-aware individual than before. Controlling was never a part of my journey, nor will it be. Not everything revolves around me- it revolves around the process I’m part of.

I'm a part of the process, not the one who controls it. It continues whether I feel low or become blank. I’m the one moving through these experiences, not controlling them. I didn't decide anything; it's the flow which teaches through incidents and moments.

I stopped questioning every step and started trusting the process. The journey began shaping me more than I shape it. Every flaw I observe every day enhances my thinking to improve them further. It feels like something beyond me is pushing me forward with small steps every day.

I gave efforts, writing returned discipline and consistency; I observed flaws, it helped me improve; I experienced, it reflected; it reflected, I became aware. These all revolve around the effort of writing. It's that big that it shapes me with my evolution every time now.

A few days back, while writing about myself, I realised how things had changed. Just an underconfident and fearful start changed into a journey. It gave me a belief to be a self-aware one. A hope to improve became a determination to evolve by a series of consistent efforts. My role felt smaller, but the process felt stronger.

I wasn't building the habit anymore; it was building me. With every flaw and improvement, writing reflects much more of myself. The start didn't ensure progress, but the process always ensures it. Trusting it was never a choice; it's a necessity without any question. I follow the rhythm instead of creating it.

The journey doesn't depend on me; it includes me. Effort stays mine, but the direction feels guided.

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...
