Commitment

[Thomas3.20.2010]

Until one is committed there is always hesitancy

The chance to draw back, there is always ineffectiveness,

Concerning all acts of initiative and creation,

There is one elementary truth,

The ignorance of which kills countless ideas and

 splendid plans;

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then

 providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help that would never

otherwise  have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision,

Raising to one’s favor all manner of unforeseen

accidents and meetings

And material assistance, which no man could have

dreamed

Would come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

-          Goethe
