I Didn't Realize Why Starting Mattered Until I Looked Back

No. I never have a perfect starting point for my blog. I didn't try preparing a perfect beginning of the blog. I just start with the exact emotion I feel while starting the blog. Emotions aren't always different. Something I didn't expect, and some I did. That's it. Just like every other day, I do have some thoughts to put into words. I have my own experience of realising those thoughts. This blog isn't about what the notion says, but what it holds within it.

Earlier I had written about time, effort, learnings, experiences. But what I realised yesterday was much different.

As always I was done writing my blog. I was seeing the blog and was trying to rectify few of my mistakes. While reading yesterday's blog, one line - "I restart accepting learnings" - made me pause. A few minutes took me back through each and every one of my blogs. I did publish the blog.

Time helps improve every thought, every skill, every person. But, without even giving effort to begin, how could time teach? Without mistakes, learnings are meaningless. Without experiencing ups and downs on our own, the moments couldn't be a memory. These sudden two-minute notions kept looping in my mind.

Without stepping up for ourselves nobody could help us improve. A step is all that's needed. A start. Good or bad doesn't matter at all. With time and consistent effort, improvement becomes definite.

I wasn't confident enough to show up. I was hesitant to start. But my will wouldn't let me think of not starting. The will to write despite whatever problem came up turned out to be a turning point for me. If I'm restarting today with all of yesterday's mistakes and improvements in mind, it's only because I made that first move. Only then did time and effort help me get better with every passing day.

Improvement follows with time. But without taking that first step and allowing mistakes to happen, it's impossible.

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...
