W.H. Murray - Until One Is Committed
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 not 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 man would have dreamed would come his 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, magic, and power in it."
W.H. Murray
from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition
and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |

" If you are irritated by every rub
If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?" |

We can either spend our time thinking about what we don't have, feeling empty and bitter over some imagined contentment lost... or we can become quietly aware of what we already are and find there, within our Self, what is overflowing, full of Light, and beyond the reach of any dark thought.~ Guy Finley |
