The Difference Between Waiting and Wasting Time: A Lesson That Changed My Growth

Okay. Got it. I got the difference between what I was doing and what I am doing. Waiting and wasting- words common to all but applied by some. What I did earlier was waste time doing nothing. What I am doing now is waiting for the learnings, waiting for notions. Why? A question I have a lot to answer. To express. To put into words. To be better every day by rectifying mistakes. To see my own reflection through my own words and evolve.

Before expressing myself daily, I wasted so much of my time. Wasted it by hesitating, wasted it by fearing judgment, feared to voice out my own voice to grow. I wasted time thinking, doing nothing to evolve myself. I was trapped in the loop of overthinking.

Slowly, things started getting understood. I am the only one who is responsible for myself. I thought, let's start writing myself out. I expressed myself on the first day. Second day. Third day. Doing it made me comfortable with my thoughts. I started enjoying voicing out my thoughts, acknowledging mistakes, trying to rectify them, and learning something new every day.

One thing was common in the process I had been trusting. Wait. Either for some hours or days- it doesn't matter. Whether it's to understand or to mark and rectify mistakes.

I was done understanding these concepts when a new question popped up. What if I am wasting my time now by naming it waiting? Silence. A thought made me blank.

Again, I waited for my notions to respond. I got one. With confidence, not with hesitation. It lies within the question itself. If waiting is wasting, then why and what wouldn't have popped up in my mind? Thoughts wouldn't lead me to express. Notions wouldn't be getting words.

The difference is clear. It's on ourselves how we see waiting and wasting. Wasting time without expressing wouldn't help us grow, but waiting to express definitely would.

Think before wasting. Wait to think. Express. Learn. Grow. Learn.

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...
