On Commitment
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, 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 definitely commits oneself, then 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, meetings and material assistance which
no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream
you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it
now."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749-1832, German Poet, Dramatist,
Novelist
