Why Revisiting Your Old Thoughts Is the Key to Personal Growth

No more new day, new thoughts. Revisiting old ones is quite necessary. Dirt needs to be dusted from every thought, notion, and perspective. It's not only about revisiting but also about introspecting. Have I evolved through them? Am I better today, or have I improved over a period of time? These questions become necessary to find out my real self.

The true reflection prevails when the old one dissolves. The flawed old one needs to be forgotten.

Every day, I try showing up with something new I have learned. Something new I have experienced while rectifying my mistakes and flaws. I thought revisiting them would be easy because I am documenting them. But it's not. It's not easy to go back every time. I wrote them, but every new moment slowly fades away the old thoughts.

Every moment I write myself out is joyful. But revisiting them to know where I stand is even more joyous. I felt it after finishing yesterday's blog. I was done turning my thoughts into words. I was thinking, Did I forget discipline? Thousands of questions, and a silent me.

Hours of silence passed. Okay. Why not revisit my old self? Why don't I revisit all my old notions?

Quite easy, I thought.

I read my older versions. I couldn't figure myself out. I didn't know how to do it. But I understood I had much more I could voice out. Revisiting every old thought motivated me enough to put in more effort and commitment.

A few days back, writing was difficult. When confidence took over hesitation, writing felt easy. Documenting every notion felt quite interesting to recall. But when I recalled them by reading my previous blogs, I realised something. No. They could help rectify my mistakes, but not me. They wouldn't help me introspect where my thoughts stand today compared to yesterday.

Recall is better than regret. Recall to improve. Recall to evolve.

Learn. 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...
