I Stopped Fixing My Mistakes Instantly - Here's What Happened

I stopped. I stopped fixing my flaws. I tried noticing them but didn't try as hard to fix them. With time I had observed something which made me change that approach. While trying to fix up flaws - either the grammatical mistakes or the incomplete thoughts, I had ended up doing many more. Whenever I observed my mistakes, I tried fixing them instantly within the blog or next blog.

But I had always ended up messing up my blogs. Either I had to rewrite few of my lines or the whole blog again.

I didn't fix my faults instantly but waited. Waited for the correct time. With time every incomplete thought gets completed. And grammatical errors also get fixed. Patience taught me much more while being on this writing journey. But an unexpected learning felt unreal.

From day one, I focused on writing my thoughts, improving myself and fixing flaws. I always made an effort to fix every mistake from the very first day. But not anymore.

About four weeks ago, I was just thinking about some of my earlier blogs. The blogs which redefined my thoughts every single day. And I did read few of them too. While reading them, I observed a common pattern. A pattern of rushing to fix every flaw instantly - and that rush always ended up creating more of them.

The blog about consistency carried some incomplete notions with few grammatical flaws. And when I read and observed my new blog redefining consistency, I saw a change. I saw the difference between waiting and being instant.

Waiting gave me a new perspective, a better understanding. With time, the small errors gradually got sorted out. Patience got me one more memory to experience.

Nothing could be fixed instantly. Either it's mistakes or it's ourselves. Mistakes need time to improve. We need time to evolve. Nothing can be done instantly, like a camera snapping a photo in seconds.

I waited. Writing reflects patience, not haste.

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...
