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...

Why Constant Self-Improvement Feels Exhausting: Questioning the Need to Always Grow

-
Everyone needs to grow, so I am with my writing. I am not stopping my growth; I want to understand why I feel the need to improve every day. Some questions don’t let me settle with my progress. They just want a perfect, existing answer to enhance self-awareness. When questioning becomes addictive, chasing growth feels like a habit.

For a few days, I have been writing about my silence, change of my perspectives, and non-intervening constant growth. All these topics revolve around the common idea of chasing growth and evolving consistently. But for a few days, chasing evolution has been a question. I need to understand why it has to be on a regular basis. Maybe I’m not chasing growth- I’m avoiding stillness.


I had started writing with a commitment to improve. But on this journey, the commitment redefined itself to be better constantly. The day I improve is based on the flaws I made yesterday. Improvement stopped feeling forced- it became natural. I didn't know if I feared stillness or not.

This journey gave me experiences I never expected- only because I kept working on what I learned. Learnings evolved beautifully with time. It adds some more amazing incidents to the journey of expressing voice in words.

Questioning develops curiosity, curiosity develops creativity, and creativity has maintained the journey's consistency. I questioned myself if I was improving or avoiding stillness. The answer is a mystery today but would be a great experience tomorrow.

Not evolving feels wrong, but always evolving feels exhausting. The ongoing journey sometimes feels energy-drained with a commitment which redefines every single day. I couldn't tell if growth was a choice or a habit anymore. Growth is no longer a goal- it’s my default.

Growth became constant- but its purpose became unclear. Growth feels real- but I’m still searching for why it matters.

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...
