Why Owning Your Mistakes Is the First Step to Personal Growth

As always, thinking what to write? Would I be writing something I own? Truth or honesty. With all these questions, I would try to be myself. What I call a raw version of me.

Again, it's the day to share something. Again, it's the day to own my voice. Every day I make mistakes, but does every one of them teach? Saying no wouldn't be correct. They do teach me. Whether it was choosing the wrong words or having the wrong views, my notions evolved every time through those flaws.

While writing this, I do remember a few moments that taught me through my flaws. I own them, and they own my improvements.

Days back, I started writing for discipline. The first paragraph I wrote was good. The second one was better. Before starting the third one, my device got shut. Saying, "No, it couldn't be," I got numb. I hadn't saved my file before writing. The words vanished.

However, I gathered myself again and started over. I completed my blog. From that day, I save first and write later. With the uncertainty, I accepted my flaw. That day made me believe that words may vanish, but thoughts can't. I started the next day voicing out my thoughts without thinking too much about the words.

I learned the term creative exhaustion on this journey. However, I didn't know about it before I felt it. Days back, with blankness and silence, I had nothing to write about. However, I wrote that day anyway, feeling it. I felt the same numbness again. I was writing, but it wasn't coming out of me.

Days later, I realized that what I felt as silence and numbness was the exhaustion of creativity. From that day, I believed that what might feel the same isn't always the same.

Mistakes do happen. Owning them helps us improve. Failure might be there, but it's the first step to growth.

Own mistakes. Learn. Improve. 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...
