Whatever you've been waiting to commit yourself to, now's a great time to do it:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignornace of which kills countless ideas and and splendid plans: that the moment one definately commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would have never otherwise occured. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no [wo]man could have dreamed would come [her] 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,
power and magic in it."
