Begin it

This has to be the best inspiring quote of all times. Doing me a lot of good at the moment, nurturing all my dreams and visions. Thanks June for reminding me again. I have often discussed it with my students over the years. Bless Goethe for his wonderful poetry

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:

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sort of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of event issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man  (or woman) could have dreamed would come his (or her) way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Begin it now.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
