How Writing Taught Me the Difference Between Thinking and Doing

Wait. I got it. I got where I was going wrong. This isn't a reaction. It was the kickstart to a journey I never expected. For the past few days, I have been sharing what I experienced on this journey. But what about the very first moment of joy while writing myself out? What was the first reaction to my first blog? "Felt great" would be quite a common answer.

I did feel happy. But that day made me realise the difference. The difference between thinking and doing. The difference between controllables and uncontrollables. It was the very first day I understood what I had to do to overcome every fear and flaw.

I thought about writing my voice many times. But when I did it for the first time, it was a surreal moment. A calmness, a question, and the motivation to express again. It was a feeling I never experienced while just thinking. 

Today, I am writing because I decided to do it. Do it for myself. Do it for my improvement. Do it to evolve.

Thinking is something that is uncontrollable. A thousand questions, numerous thoughts, incomplete views, and much more. I didn't try to control them. Writing them is in my control. I try to do it every single day.

Giving words to my thoughts is the best thing that I could control. Despite being written with flaws and mistakes, they are written knowingly by me. I acknowledge and correct them. That's what I do. It can't be controlled by others.

With all these differences, I learned to put in effort every day, widening the gap between thinking and doing. The more that gap increased, the closer I got to my commitment to express myself continuously.

Express. Understand. Reflect. 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...
