The Question That Shook My Entire Journey

Am I Fooling Myself?

A doubt, a question that shatters all the learnings in a second. I dealt with excuses and thoughts of quitting, but I had never been this stressed by a question. Blanked by everything I experienced. Blanked by everything I felt and voiced out. Blanked by moments of creativity. A thought questioned the existence of my whole writing journey.

All the efforts felt like nothing. Nothing with consistency. Nothing with discipline. Nothing with courage. Nothing with curiosity. Nothing with creativity. Nothing with patience. Nothing with silence. All the understanding switched into a deceiving notion.

I stressed, got silent, and took a pause, finding myself trying to resist the absurd thought of fooling myself. A few hours of quietness gave me the same answer as always whenever I doubted myself.

It's for me. I can't lie to myself. I have become better. That's it.

Four phrases, a long pause. I questioned myself again. However, instantly my inner self voiced all my learning confidently. The courage of my inner voice silenced the whole web of chaos. Confusion to clarity, a few hours, much why and when.

If I was fooling myself, I would have skipped efforts. I would have skipped the streak. I would have skipped improving my mistakes. I would not have had faith to evolve. No more doubts, only a commitment to step forward and grow every single day.

The more I am consistent with my voice, the less I get silenced by questions. The question shook my journey, but my efforts answered it.

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...
