I Stopped Planning My Blog - Here's What Randomness Taught Me Instead

Not every day is planned. Days are random, thoughts are random. Plans didn't work out for everyone. Whatever random mistakes I did, I learnt more from them. Randomness can't be defined as irrelevant. It's the foundation to every creativity, every notion. What isn't planned is what shapes perspective and grows knowledge.

I had planned. Planned every single blog. But not even a single one went with the flow I decided. With every passing day, challenges differed, flaws differed. Every random challenge gave me a moment to redefine my plans from scratch.

Being in comfort earlier wasn't part of my randomness. But deciding to write every day, every thought, was definitely part of being unintentional. The aim was clear to me; me being better and for my dream. And plans couldn't make it possible.

Day by day, laziness was increasing. No plans for the dream. Not having a single thought about improving myself worried me. A random thought came, why don't I start writing my thoughts in the blogs? Why couldn't I see my thoughts reflected back at me? Keeping all the questions in mind, I decided to write blogs every day. I decided to write every experience I would get back from writing itself.

While making the decision, I wasn't aware of what I'd be doing or how. But the thought "whatever happens, I'll deal with it later" carried that randomness into my blog. I didn't know what I would write next. Overthinking wasn't planned, it just happened.

Even when I got numb with notions, I hadn't planned for it. It came out as a random challenge. An unplanned challenge which made me learn to start again. Start again from scratch taking all the positives.

Laptop getting shut wasn't my plan. The whole blog I'd wrapped up got erased. Rewriting those random thoughts from scratch was itself random - otherwise I was about to quit. I learned what commitment is with such an unplanned moment.

Plans get defined when something is in our hands. Something we could control. But I could control neither the random challenges nor the random notions. That's something which gives foundation to many experiences - experience in mistakes, experience in improvement.

Randomness helps us evolve effortlessly. Plans didn't work out every time.

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...
