I Was Too Afraid to Write. Here's the Decision That Changed That

Like every other day, words aren't the challenge. Neither the learnings, nor the experiences are. The only challenge is decisions, or the thoughts behind them. If any of it goes wrong, the whole blog feels incomplete. I once feared making a decision that later turned out to be the wrong one. Also, the notion, whatever it is, needs to be completed on its own.

The last few days hadn't been great. Multiple confusions, chaotic thoughts. But 'will' to restart every day remains the same. Starting again, taking all the learnings of previous days with me. Taking all the mistakes to avoid. Day by day, writing reflects my flaws back to me bluntly. I decided to accept them and improve each and every one of them.

A decision changes all the plots. It's not good or bad in the moment it's made, but in what it results in.

On the very first day, I didn't know anything. I didn't know how a blog is to be written. I didn't even know writing would reflect notions bluntly. I was just a fearful man. Fear of being judged, fear of writing hesitantly. A fearful man who wanted to be himself, who wanted to be better, started writing. Writing the thoughts which he owns. Not read but lived and experienced.

A decision to express notions proved to be best when I saw myself reflected through the lens of writing.

I recalled one more moment. It's not only a moment but a memory. Memory which reminds me to be calm. A day when my blog got deleted, my patience got tested. Mistakes weren't improving already, and then the device shutting down made things worse. I thought to quit and get back to comfort I had been enjoying lately.

But a few hours of silence didn't let me quit. Effort didn't let me give up easily. I decided to write from scratch again. I wrote even better than the earlier one. Thoughts felt complete in that blog.

A Decision is always the easiest way to get past chaos. In the chaos of notions, I decided to write out my fear.

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...
