The Power of 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 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 man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now."
—J. W. von Goethe
Goethe's words are inspirational and a fitting introduction to my blog.

moving words. one wonders of how many countless ideas and splendid plans have gone by the wayside. but something/s is missing. commitment is a loaded action, with more than just will behind it. nevertheless, one step at a time or it's nowhere.
