Until one is committed...

Here is a creed I live by.  I have it posted in my office and read it several times each week.  Don’t read it just once.  Read it several times.  Copy and paste it into a document.  Print it off and put it somewhere where you’ll run across it A LOT!  It’ll help you get to where you want to be in life.  It’s helped me.  I’ve used this little philosophy to help hundreds, if not thousands now with 17 years in the personal growth field.  Enjoy!

"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 person could have dreamt would have come their 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.’"
W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition 1951
