The Hidden Growth I Noticed After I Stopped Counting Days

No matter what the day is, I know I am on this journey for myself, not for anything that has to be counted. I forget the numbers, but notice the change quietly. Improvement doesn't shout; it becomes visible whenever I need it. What I was before is totally different from what I am today.

I don't count myself through streaks anymore. I enjoy being expressive every day, and the flow carries the journey now. Earlier, numbers were for consistency, but writing took over and the flow carried the streak.

I remember how desperate I used to be for clarity in my thoughts and improvement in my mistakes. I experienced wonderful moments on this journey. Every moment signaled me one simple thought: stop chasing numbers and enjoy the process I had been in—expressing myself through words.

Enjoying every bit of my moments is something that gives me clarity in my thoughts. Every new perspective had evolved from an old one, so why count? Adding something new to the same thought every time is the change, not something to be counted.

Emotions were missing initially on the journey. Once they joined, every moment became a learning, something that doesn't have value to be counted. Silence and a long pause between thoughts clear the fog of notions; that is something I notice, not the day I understood it.

When quietness redefined itself, all meanings turned out to be different. I did the same with my progress. I don't see my achievement through writing for an enormous number of days. I see it through how much I had evolved during this period and where I still lack.

I am not good with numbers, but my writing ensures what it has to reflect every single day. It adds something new consistently within me. I don't want to continue my streak through numbers, but through change instead.

I don't shape the journey; it's the journey that has been shaping me.

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...
