IMPORTANCE OF COMMITTMENT

7758237_origUntil one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to drawback, always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative and creation there is one elementary truth; the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one commits oneself, the Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.

I am reminded of one of Goethe’s couplets:

Whatever you can do or dream you can; begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
