I Thought They Were Blogs Until I Read Them Again

Wasn't it a letter?

I didn't know if it was a letter or a note. But I know it was a prep talk between me and my future self. A prep talk to improve bit by bit, taking a small initiative to start expressing myself much more strongly than ever before. It's not only for writing; it's for me to become more aware of myself and stop being lazy.

Currently, it's between me and myself. However, it still carries the first day thought: me and for myself. Whenever I feel low, I start reading all my previous blogs. Not for motivation, but for the commitment I made to myself.

A commitment to choose becoming better over hesitation and laziness. I thought of giving up many times, but every time my inner voice held me back and pushed me to to express myself better than I did yesterday.

Being better and talking about it are two different things. Once I talked, I ended up doing nothing. But when I put in effort, I didn't need to prove it.

I know I did. I improved. Not much, just a bit. That's it.

The older version of me is not just me putting in effort to observe, to share, and to try finding mistakes. It's the courage given by writing; it's the version of me that writing slowly built. For me, writing has been a mirror reflecting my future self.

I wasn't disciplined, wasn't consistent, wasn't motivated, wasn't aware. But when I voiced myself through words, the tables turned for me.

Whenever I feel lost, I read my previous blogs. Either I rethink my thoughts or get a space to recall all my learnings from the journey. A few hours of calmness while reading, and things start falling into place.

Not letters, but me with myself. Same person talking through different notions.

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...
