COMMITMENT

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning 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 and meetings
and material assistance which
no one could have dreamt
would come their way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.
