As long as we don’t commit ourselves, doubt reigns, the possibility of retraction remains and inefficiency always prevails.
When it comes to all acts of initiative and creativity, there’s an elementary truth – ignorance of which has countless repercussions and aborts splendid projects.
From the moment we commit ourselves fully, providence also sets in.
To help us, all sorts of things are put into action that would never have happened otherwise.
A chain of events, situations and decisions creates all kinds of unforeseen incidents, encounters and material help that we would never have dreamed of encountering along the way.
Anything you can do, or dream of doing, you can undertake.
Boldness contains genius, power and magic. But start now! <\/p>\n
