providence

COMMITTED

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 & splendid plans:

That the moment one definitively 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 unforseen incidents & meetings
& material assistance,

which no one could have dreamed
would have come their way.

whatever you can do,
or dream you can begin it.
boldness has genius,
power and magic in it.

BEGIN IT NOW.
