Pretending and solving problems
While I was thinking over and over about the meaning of blogging and its purpose, an idea came to my mind that I think will make it easier to understand this "problem." After several conversations with my blogger friends, I came to the conclusion that they all ask similar questions. Does what I'm writing make sense, will it help someone understand the problem, has someone written it already (better, in a different way), etc. Such thoughts can be really annoying, they get in the way of your writing, and it's generally difficult to maintain an unshakeable faith in what you're doing. However, I'll tell you this:This is a brilliant solution to OUR problem.
And not just bloggers, of course. Isn't it most annoying when someone says: "I know better, I can do better, I'm better than you"? There are many performers of the same tasks, does it even make sense to grade their achievements? Everyone does what they think is right at the moment, everyone is at a certain stage of their life and has made certain decisions. So what's the deal? Maybe it's better to tell someone, "It's already happened, turn on the TV and stop sticking your head out." Let there be a million blogs about personal development, and anyone who wants to read them will choose one or the other because they like the headline or maybe the blogger's photo. What's the difference? Let's do our thing. Let's not look back.People like to get depressed and convince themselves that they are not doing well at something. Or maybe, on the contrary, let's start bragging (not bragging) about what we have best, sharing what we know and consider important. Some people may not like it, but someone else will be thrilled. And it doesn't mean that I'm doing something better than others, just IN a DIFFERENT WAY. As they say, no one was born to be liked by everyone, or anything like that.What should I do if I still don't believe I can write?
I once watched a video of a TED talk in which Amy Cuddy talks about body language and how it affects our minds, and therefore how the mind can change our behavior and the results we achieve. The video is definitely worth watching, but I want to focus on Amy's personal story, which she shares here. At the age of 19, she was involved in a serious car accident. She had to drop out of college, and she was informed that her IQ had dropped by two levels. She wanted to go back to school, but they kept telling her she couldn't do it. However, she did not give up and eventually graduated. Then she went to Princeton (a famous university in the USA), where she was to give a 20-minute speech. It was then that she realized that she wasn't cut out for this, that she shouldn't be there at all. And then her sponsor said that if she didn't think she was cut out for it, then she should start PRETENDING until she convinced herself. There will come a moment when she will be horrified by what she is doing, she will be paralyzed by fear, but she WILL DO IT. And this information will reach her, and she will finally realize that she has coped, and will forget about her fear. And so it happened. Until one day a student came up to her and said, "I shouldn't be here." It occurred to her that she had once thought the same way, but it was long gone, and she hadn't even realized it. She advised this girl what she had heard before, and everything worked out for her. https://cs2run.gg/
