I Was My Own Biggest Obstacle - Here's How I Beat It

Every day.

Every second.

A single thought. Only I could.

I never thought I'd be turning notions and mistakes into words for my learnings. But that was the only way I saw to work upon myself. It was the only way I got to be better with every passing day. A few days into this journey made me realise the significance of effort and discipline. But today I wouldn't be writing about them.

I've written different blogs about taking initiative, small or big - it didn't matter. But I never wrote about who was resisting me every time I showed up. I figured it out when I tried observing myself experiencing mistakes and learnings.

It was me. I was confused when I noticed it. Not a few months, not a few weeks - only a day. A day when I started writing blogs was enough. But it wasn't just for a day. It's every time. I resist myself before trying anything new. I resist leaving my comfort zone.

Every single time I make up my mind to start whatever learning I recall or whatever mistake I recall, at a certain moment, thoughts like "I'll do it later" or "let's skip" try to stop me from putting my notions into words.

However, I write to make myself better from tomorrow, for a dream I keep thinking about.

I remember the first day I started writing blogs. For the last few days, I was just delaying and avoiding giving words to my notions. But the thought "whatever happens, I'll deal with it later" was enough to motivate me to write. I started writing my notions after two or three days of my own ignorance.

The first word made me hesitant to write the second. But writing it wiped out that fear. By the time my blog was complete, the thought that had been limiting me was gone. That day I learned the significance of taking that first step - I realised why it matters, because it stops the thought that I couldn't.

Fear of failure may resist us. Fear of being judged may limit us. An initiative is enough to get over every resistance.

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...
