The Promise I Made to Myself That Changed Everything

Something crazy but relatable. That's the thought which defines all the experiences I have had. No matter what the situation, moments made me understand something every day.

Today, I was thinking about what to share but remembered something special. Something I had with me from the very first day I started my writing journey.

Promise. A word to myself: whatever is gonna happen would happen, but I would improve.


Despite the failures, I didn't let down my words and continued daily. There are various incidents which made me think of quitting. Quitting the journey of becoming much more of myself, becoming self-aware. However, the crazy word "promise" is standing tall to help me continue.

A few days back, I didn't have any thoughts. I had been thinking for the last two hours. Waited one hour. Thought of quitting. But in the last few seconds, I remembered my crazy word. I started writing without notions. Whatever I had, I wrote down. Later on, I realized I had written down what blankness did to me.

Promise. A small word. But it carries a lot of hope, commitment, discipline, and consistency.

Every day is a new day, but the promise remains the same. Every notion evolves, but the promise remains the same. Everything changed only because the promise didn't change.

Not every day remains the same. Some days I improve, but some days I fail. I fail to rectify my errors. I think of quitting. But every time, my promise to myself made me stop quitting and continue.

Promise is the only choice I choose to evolve and become better every single day.

Commit. Fail. Learn. Don't quit.

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...
