Why I Stopped Trusting My First Thoughts and Started Choosing Silence

Enough! Loud ones aren't always the correct ones. Believing all of them on the first go isn't the perfect response; it's an instant reaction indeed. My first thoughts were always fast, neither complete nor flawless. I believed every first perspective I understood. Later, I ended up improving and evolving beyond them. Repeating the same wasn't letting me move to the next page of growth.

I stopped, got quiet, and tried realizing my flaws. A few days back, I didn't show up instantly with the very first notion. I took time, framed it, and voiced it out calmly. Every observation is a reflection on this journey. However, I didn't only notice things during writing hours. It's been a habit I practice while expressing my voice through words.

Some thoughts change after a few hours of silence. Not every thought is supposed to remain the same as it first sparked. While writing a few days back, I made the same mistake. What I first thought was my flaw turned out to be a turning point on this writing journey. I wrote about my emptiness, but it became the turning point that redefined me.

I expressed how writing and observing felt exciting yet blank. But later, my thoughts weren't the same when I revisited them. Emptiness turned into questioning after I redefined my way of thinking; my opinions changed. My first thought spoke early, but the second one understood better. Understanding felt deeper than my first response. Despite a flaw, I ended up writing complete thoughts in my next blog.

Calmness defines the real clarity and lights the path to improve further. Clarity wasn't quickness. Silence corrected what emotions rushed.

Now, I trust thoughts, but not the first ones. A pause revealed things speed couldn't. Waiting became part of understanding myself much better. Some realizations come later, but they are the most honest ones. Writing pushed me from instant belief to instant silence.

Speed gave reactions, silence gave understanding.

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...
