Until One Is Committed

Post by mars » Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:37 pm

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
unforseen incidents and meetings and material
assistance, which no man could have dreamt
would have come his way. I have learned a
deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can,
begin it. /Boldness has genius, power,
and magic in it".

Quotation from the Scottish Himalayan Expedition
by W.H. Murray, published by J.M. Dent and Sons 1951

I first read it in a publication of the Do It Now Foundation in the late 1970's,
and I still read it and use it, and I know it works. The magic is real.

cheers
