The Truth About Personal Growth: What Writing Taught Me About Failure, Consistency, and Growth

No, it's not.

It's not a story; it's the truth I experienced. It's the truth I live every day. Writing, which seemed easy to me, isn't easy at all. Every day, I start writing my blog with a thought: I could. But is it easy? I don't feel so. The notions mess up. Thoughts to quit and skip revolve all around. With all of it, I try expressing myself with clarity in my notions.

A few months back, I started voicing out through words. The words that define me every day now. The words that carry every emotion and moment within them. Choosing them wasn't easy. I made mistakes. I feared acknowledging them. But once I accepted them, I found myself eager to improve. I found a silence, a peace, which I had never felt before.

I do remember my starting days, when writing felt like a task, discipline a myth, and consistency a story. But once I tried living the writing, living the voice, all my confusion started turning into clarity.

Once, while writing my blog, my device got shut down. I hadn't even saved my file. The words vanished. I got frustrated. I wasted hours thinking of quitting. But I started again, thinking that the words had vanished, not the thoughts.

That day, I wrote my silence with frustration all around. I lived my silence in those few hours of writing a blog.

Once, I was about to express what was within me. But a thought made me wait before voicing out through words. A thought to quit. A thought with a question: No response, am I improving? An unknown calmness. A doubt shook me up. But a thought for me, for myself- that I would improve; kept weight in my voice to write the blog. I wrote, thinking never to fear failure. Accept it. Learn. Try again.

Multiple thoughts, multiple moments. They aren't my stories. They are truths that made me aware of myself. The truths that made me visible to myself through my lens, my thoughts. I try to improve every flaw I find, to see myself better than before.

I feared hesitation. I feared judgment. I feared failure. However, I wrote myself, ignoring all the fears. I wrote, focusing on myself, for myself. Stories can't be lived, but experiences can.

Believe Yourself. Start. Fail. Learn. Try Again. Grow. Evolve.

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...
