I Erased My Entire Blog Post - And Felt Happy About It

Every day isn't the same. Every emotion isn't the same. But the will and commitment remain the same all the time. From being lazy to becoming better at something feels good. At least my grammar has improved. Whatever I experience, whatever I learn; I keep trying to share through blogs. But as every day has its own learning, blogs read differently every single day. Even experiencing the same moments again teaches new perspective every single time.

Change comes with difference. It's what defines growth and evolution. For the past few days everything has been feeling off. Every emotion feels awkward. My thoughts aren't fitting into words the way they used to. Every learning feels incomplete. I did experience the same months back. But this time it's different, either it's thoughts, learnings or whatever else.

But, I didn't quit. I didn't quit, no matter how incomplete things felt.

Today, I decided not to be the same as prior days. No more treating effort as optional - I'm owning it as a necessity. I decided to start from the beginning, today. All day, I was wondering why things have felt off for the past few days. My thoughts are different, and I'm even trying to improve - so why does it still feel off? Even when I feel numb with thoughts, I try to redefine my learnings - some days I yelled, other days I just sat silently.

An hour passed. Two hours passed. One more. But I was as blank as I was three hours before. No answers. Just calm.

Slowly, I got close to the hour when I usually start writing my blog. I thought not to think much and do whatever I decided at the start of the day. I started to write this blog. But the first few lines didn't feel much better. But I kept writing anyway.

I wrote up the whole blog and erased it. I didn't get angry - I was happy. Happy not publishing whatever incomplete I was writing. I felt the same emotion I felt writing my first blog. I realised whatever I had been feeling was a sign to start from the beginning again. Again with different notions and learnings. But, carrying forward everything I'd learned from all the changes before.

The biggest mistake isn't to start from the beginning. It's to start from the beginning without acknowledging previous learnings.

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...
