I Stopped Asking Others and Started Asking Myself - Here's What Changed

What I had learned may be different. What others learn differs too. Not everyone has the same dream. Not even the choices. But one question remains the same for everyone: how to learn? How to get better every day? Asking others gave me different options and suggestions. But, asking others didn't get me to know myself. What I want? What I think? I started asking myself questions over questions again and again.

I knew nobody was going to figure out my answers. Only and only I can. Whatever the doubt, whatever the problem; the only way to resolve every issue is us.

A random thought pulled me out from the chaos of me v/s me. A thought to express. A thought to word out every notion I had within myself. A thought to write every emotion, every experience and learnings. I agreed with my thought. I decided to write every notion in blogs from the very next day.

Contrary to that, on the very next day, I wasn't sure. I wasn't writing my blog. I was a bit nervous about what to write about. I was anxious about how I would be writing, since I hadn't written anything before. The day got over in hesitation. I tried figuring out something else. But while I was caught in a web of thoughts, a notion made me question myself. If I'd decided I had to express myself, why was I about to quit?

Quitting before I'd even started. The thought fueled my willpower to show up and try to figure out things on my own. The next day, I did show up thinking I'd see whatever happened next.

At the time, I thought it was just an incident. But it wasn't. It was my win over hesitation. It was my belief in myself. What I know is believing in ourselves only helps. If anybody doesn't believe in themselves, then how would others?

Things were messy. They are messy. And I know they will be. But, the only person who could wrap up the mess is me.

Facing ourselves helps ourselves get better. Choice matters but only our own.

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...
