Advancing commitment to action

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 dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do – or dream you can do – begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now (Goethe).
