Quotations: Commitment, Initiative, Decision

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, and 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, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy;
you don’t make them because they are cheap;
you don’t make them because they’re popular;
you make them because they’re right.
Theodore Hesburgh

 

Find what you love to do.
Find your  passion.
Know what makes you want to get up in the morning, that’s all you need.
—Condoleeza Rice

Every decision you make – every decision – is not a decision about what to do. It’s a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.
Neale Donald Walsch
