Why Your Definition of Progress Changes as You Grow

Confusion remained the same- I just redefined it as clarity. Things don't remain the same as we think; they change with time and circumstances. I didn't expect that I would be defining my growth again and again on a regular basis. Every day, progress has its own meaning. Writing helped me understand my thoughts better. New learnings add up every day with thoughts, helping them to evolve and become hesitation-free.

Meanings change, but emotions and firmness remain the same while writing the blog. Whatever is going to happen would happen, but I would improve- the decision I took on the very first day while expressing myself. It strengthens the zeal to redefine every learning with new experiences. Enjoying experiences with new perspectives every day makes learning more exciting and meaningful.

For a few days, silence didn't feel good. What I felt, I expressed through a blog titled Emptiness yesterday. I was numb while understanding my situation. But recently, I found why this journey started feeling empty; the answer remains within this blog.

For some days, I was improving continuously, but I was raising my bars with small wins. Excitement faded away, feelings didn't remain the same, and days started feeling the same. Today, I decided why not change the way I observe myself through writing. Just thinking beyond thoughts which were already written in blogs distances me from old thoughts. I began questioning my definition of enough.

Limitation bars shift, so does my emptiness. I started writing with my redefined definition of growth and perfection. Old benchmarks limited progress; new ones limit limitations. My own standards, which felt outdated, reform without putting much effort.

Every word I give my voice is already a benchmark; new words are my goal to chase. The same goes for perspectives and learnings. What satisfied me earlier is now a beginning. The journey has been evolving with time, so the metrics too had to.

Progress became less about results and more about perspectives. I'm learning to grow without relying on past standards.

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...
