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
dreamt would have come his way.
-- Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
