The Uncertainty I Can't Escape - And Why I've Stopped Trying To

No title, no story - just a few words and the mistakes I learn from. That's the whole idea I had been following from day one. Did I need to change something? Am I being comfortable with this idea? These questions had been in my mind for the last few days. Thinking what to write, I had been neglecting them for three to four days. I wasn't sure why I was doubting myself over it.

Thinking about this again and again, experiencing different uncertainties, mistakes; I am sure enough it doesn't demand change. Every day is uncertain enough to write about. Every day I wake up thinking, today's blog would be great, flawlessly written. However, I end up doing a mistake. I didn't do it deliberately, but it's been done. Done in a way I wasn't even aware of. Mostly the grammatical errors.

Even while writing a blog every day, I'm uncertain what I'll write the next minute. I'm uncertain about my thoughts, but not about my learnings. I try to put into words every moment I've learned from.

When I hesitated to write, I questioned my decision to be better through writing. I questioned even writing as a mirror which reflects our true selves. The will to be someone I dream of, to be better, made me show up. My thoughts follow, word by word, in the blog. On the first day, I thought I would be doing the same to improve on my mistakes.

I was wrong. I was wrong being certain.

A few days ago, I experienced blankness. Blankness that barely allowed me to think or write. I learned the significance of silence. A month later, I felt the same blankness. But I didn't learn the same as earlier. I realised I needed to redefine every lesson from the start. A few days before that, I faced the same numbness again. This time, the lesson was different from the other two. Starting again, taking all the key lessons from prior mistakes.

Same experience, different moments with different realisations and learnings. I wasn't sure enough to change my approach because of every unexpected flaw. Uncertainty doesn't let me get comfortable every day.

Questioning myself, I understood myself better.

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...
