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 favour.
All manner of unforeseen incidents
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.
Begin it now.
-- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
