The Difference Between Hope and Expectations Changed the Way I Think and Write

I can't lose hope. Hope to be myself. Hope to improve. Hope to be a writer one day. Whatever the problem comes, or whatever the situation is, either worst or best, I couldn't lose it. I didn't know what's in the future, but I want to stay faithful to my hopes until they are achieved. However, I didn't expect anything. Expectations and hope aren't the same for me.

A few months back, I was sitting calmly and thinking about the experiences of previous blogs. I was reading a few of my old blogs and trying to find out the difference I had learned, comparing them and now.


Read one blog, found a few mistakes. Read the second blog, found a few incomplete thoughts. I started reading the third one about hopes. Finished a few more and sat quietly for a few more hours, thinking about then and now.

Suddenly, I thought, why not express about expectations? "Okay, I would." Saying it, I remembered a blog titled hopes. I remembered how hope motivates me every day to express without any hesitation or fear of judgment. I recalled the story I never shared earlier. While writing for the first few days, it started feeling like a waste. I thought to quit. Quit to step ahead, being myself.

No response made me doubt myself. Am I writing badly? Multiple doubts, multiple questions. With this, I was about to quit writing.

But there was an inner voice saying no constantly. An inner voice wasn't letting me quit. It was making me remember my first thought of the blog writing journey. "Whatever gonna happen will happen, but I would improve." The thought was constantly making me rethink quitting. Hope was there; something better would happen any day. That's it. Motivation did its part. I stopped thinking about all the doubts and questions and continued writing blogs.

A few days back, thinking too much about mistakes made me feel numb. I expected I would improve them in the blog. I got numb with my thoughts and learnings. I wasn't able to complete my blog in a fixed number of hours. Pressure to improve mistakes made me feel exhausted with notions. However, I was done, completed with a few more mistakes.

I didn't expect to write my best today. I hope it happens one day. I keep this thought of comparison with me every day, every time, to express myself continuously.

Don't expect. Hope for it.

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...
