Thinking vs. Experiencing: The Lesson That Changed How I Write

I don't know if what I am writing is true for others, but for me, it is as true as I am. I had started writing when I saw all doors to improvement getting closed. I took the door to write myself every day. Despite how many obstacles or challenges, I try to write in and out. What I experience, I do share in my blog.

Today, a few hours before, I was just thinking about what should be today's notions to voice out for. Many more repetitive ideas got me irritated. Whether there is something new about them or not, today I was willing to express differently. Not different in terms of words or grammar, but the thoughts indeed. A thought popped up, almost like a third voice between my two selves. It's simple to spell or to write but carries a meaningful learning.

It says about the difference between reading a thought and experiencing the same. The thought remains the same, but the learnings and emotions don't.

Before writing, I knew writing as a mirror. But once I started writing, I started feeling it. I feel it every single time thoughts get their words. I feel it with my mistakes. I feel it with my minute improvements. Whatever thoughts became words reflected me back to myself. Writing proved to be not only a mirror, but a true friend. A friend who pushed me beyond my limits. The limit of being lazy. The limit of living comfortably.

A few days back, I read about blankness. I read about exhaustion. I thought it was nothing; how could anyone be numb with thought. Days passed, sitting for hours wasn't getting me an idea to voice out for. I started roaming here and there. I got frustrated with some incomplete thoughts. I was worrying about the continuity I was trying to maintain for so many days. Multiple thoughts but a single complete one.

Suddenly, I remembered what I read about-blankness. It's not something you can control - it's something that disrupts your control over everything else. However, I completed that day's blog with incomplete thoughts, as every notion matters.

After finishing my blog, I realised there's a lot of difference. Difference between what we think and what we experience. I understood without experiencing something, concluding isn't correct.

Experiencing tells the story, the story of truth and lies.

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...
