Why It’s Never Too Late to Start Writing: The Truth About Progress and Timing

No. Never.

It's never late. It's just that we understand it later. Writing taught me a beautiful lesson: to see my journey. A new perspective to see what I had missed, what I did early or late. The blog is not about the learning I am expressing; it's about the beautiful memories I have experienced while on this small ongoing writing journey.

I didn't focus on myself much earlier. But when I tried writing about myself, the tables turned out differently. It not only changed my thoughts but also my questions. The question from self turned into questions within thoughts. The first few days felt like I had started writing about myself quite late. But learning doesn't have any time- anytime, anywhere.

There is nothing like perfect timing for anything to start. And writing about self doesn't need any time to begin. The day I wrote about myself for the first time, I felt relaxed- relaxed, something I had voiced out. Relaxed- I had stepped over hesitation.

For the first time ever, I felt the essence of "possible." If tried, either we learn or grow; but we never fail. Just a small effort- late or early doesn't define it.

Days back, I wasn't able to express myself through words. An hour passed, I was silent. Two hours passed, I was blank. A thought clicked in me about consistency. Will I be able to show up with continuity? Will I be publishing my blog at a regular time? I was late, but I wasn't ready to give up on myself.

I ended up writing and publishing the blog on consistency, with much more time than ever. But did I break my streak? No. It's not the time that matters; it's about the effort being shown.

Focusing on effort over early or late start defines success. It defines us. Effort defines me every day, not the late start. And that’s the only timing I trust now.

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...
