breakfast byte: commitment & providence
“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. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way” (W. H. Murray, mountaineer).
Beautiful, isn’t it?!!!
That statement reminds me of the novel The Alchemist, very powerful and humbling. So often we all hesitate…then veer towards the familiar paths travelled…only to lose out on so many opportunities that would have opened up for us.
