pt of the day
You cannot dream yourself into a character;
you must hammer and forge yourself one.
Until one is committed,
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative
there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills,
countless ideas and endless plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself
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
and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed
would come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it!
Boldness had genius, power, and magic in it.
