COMMITMENT


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 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 would have dreamt would come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic.

Begin it now.

- W.H. Murray, in The Scottish Himalaya Expedition
