Why Revisiting the Same Memory Teaches You Something New Every Time

I thought about what to write. One hour. Two hours. Three hours. Hour after hour I waited but didn't write. Ignorance wasn't something I wanted. I didn't want to ignore my thoughts anymore. I didn't know what I would be doing, how I would be writing, but was certain to write. To write out every thought I had, every word I would own. Thinking this much, I was determined to start writing from next day.

Next day, again the same. I wasted hours telling myself I'd start the next minute. Hesitation kept resisting me back every single time. Every time I wrote a word, I paused myself again for a few more minutes. Writing a few sentences felt like a struggle, a thought to write a blog felt impossible at that time. Again the day got wasted, and so did my motivation.

I had already wasted two days - no more excuses, I yelled at myself. I decided to start, stopped wasting time making excuses. I started my device and began writing my blog. Whatever I was owning within me, I wrote that in my blog. I did mention my thought I use as my motivation; whatever's going to happen will happen, but I will improve.

On the third day when I was done publishing my blog, I realised the first ever learning of my writing journey. A learning which works out as a basic principle in my life. Commitment and effort go hand in hand, both are incomplete without each other. I had the commitment to write, but was lacking effort for the last two days. But, when I put in effort I felt relaxed writing out myself.

Whenever I recall this incident, I try understanding it differently every time. I always want this moment to teach me different other learnings. A few months back, I recalled the same memory. At that time, I thought - if I hadn't started, I wouldn't be writing today. Then improvement and acknowledging mistakes wouldn't even exist. I understood how necessary it is to take action. Even if it is small, it does matter.

I was happy to have two different lessons from the same moment. A few days back, I recall my first thought of motivation, "Whatever's going to happen will happen, but I would improve." I recall the moment to write out myself instead of thinking anything else.

I read my first blog again. It made me realise one aspect of life. I feared hesitation and judgment before starting to write. I understood they were only resisting me from writing my blog. I added one more lesson to this same experience. Only determination could strengthen me to stop making excuses anymore.

Same experience, different perspectives. Experience teaches, recalling it helps me understand different opinions.

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...
