The Truth About Personal Growth Nobody Talks About

No. I couldn't.

I couldn't ignore my thoughts, my notions, my perspectives. The first thought before even voicing it out was true to myself. It was true to my voice, my thoughts. Every time I failed, I was true to myself. Every time I improved, I was true to myself.

Without owning the words, improvement doesn't exist. Neither does growth matter, nor do effort. Even my smallest grammatical flaws matter.

A few days back, I thought it's enough. I didn't have anything to express. I was numb, out of notions. I waited one hour. No thoughts. Two hours passed. I was sitting with a blank face. Three hours passed. Multiple thoughts messed me up. What if I couldn't voice out today? Would I be able to maintain my streak?

My inner voice shattered all the unwanted questions with a small moment. However, out of curiosity, one doubt popped up. Did this small moment matter? Is this something to share?

The silence within me answered yes.

A moment which defined my efforts to me.

Days back, I skipped writing out myself because I was feeling sick. I decided to voice out my thoughts twice within a day. Multiple thoughts, no calmness left. Did I skip my thoughts? Despite all the chaos, I did express myself twice within a day. I wrote every single notion within me; complete or incomplete didn't matter.

I felt calm after it. The clarity, the calmness after writing out myself, showed me the true me. The true me that I could. The true me that I could show up without fearing failure. I felt peace after ignoring the ignorance within me.

I waited for thoughts. I didn't ignore them. I got blank. I didn't ignore it. I hesitated, I ignored it. I feared judgment, I ignored it. I ignored every single thing that was pulling me down. That was pulling me away from being aware of myself.

Don't Ignore. Be Honest with Yourself.

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...
