The Day I Started Writing, Everything Changed

"Not today. Not tomorrow. Today. Where to start from? Didn't know. What would be written? Didn't know. No more excuses. No more doubts. Just a commitment to kick-start my writing journey." With these notions within me, I tried putting in the effort on the very first day. The first paragraph didn't go well, so I erased it. Started again and continued. Erasing and restarting took almost three attempts to make up a complete blog.

The first blog felt exciting, but somehow the fear of judgment was holding me back. However, I didn't listen to fear and continued expressing myself till I published it. The words were such a bliss, they gave me peace. For the first time in my entire life, I felt I had outgrown my hesitation and fear of being judged.

"Same I want to feel again." Exact words my inner voice voiced out to me. I did it again the next day. Then one more day. One more. And finally, I am trying till today to continue.

The first ever commitment I made helped me meet my true self, whom I hadn't met till the day I expressed myself. The determined thought, whatever was gonna happen would happen, but I would improve, isn't a notion anymore. It has been a principle to learn, to improve myself, and to be a better person every next day.

With time, accepting mistakes didn't feel bad. Courage, a word I knew earlier, I understood when writing started reflecting me back. Acknowledging my mistakes taught me courage and confidence.

Grammar mistakes and wording my thoughts were a few mistakes in the very first blog. Owning up felt heavy on the very first day. Happiness was suggesting I accept and rectify them; laziness was trying to neglect them. However, I didn't question my happiness and decided to improve with every next blog.

Without starting, the path couldn't get clear. So, I did. And once I started, there was no looking back. Growth awaits at every next stop.

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...
