Goethe-ism
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, a chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary proof, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. This is, 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 and material assistance, which no man would 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!"
J. W. Von Goethe
Posted this in another thread but thought this quote deserved its own thread. This quote had a profound impact on getting me where I am now and just going for it, deciding to ignore what I was being told to do and just go with what felt right, and all other things fell into place and worked for me. Ill save you the details but I found this to be inspirational.
The term "Goethe-ism" is slightly tongue in cheek. It refers to the notion that all things will fall into place and work out if you are singleminded and committed to achieving your goals and put 110% effort into them.
This isnt really a discussion thread, just wanted to give you guys a chance to read this and use it if you need a shove you start something risky. Or just to enjoy it as I do!!
Graham
