Commitment to Genius

"Until one is committed, there is always 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 endless plans:  that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too.  

 All sorts of things occur to help one that would not 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.

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)
