“Concerning all acts of initiative, 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 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 do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
Some of you may have heard this goldmine of wisdom before. How many of you have truly taken it to heart?
One thing of which I have no shred of doubt in my mind is that when you really, truly and completely commit yourself to something it is inevitable that you will produce results you would have never imagined. This is not to say that the road may not be bumpy or have boulders that need to be removed along the way, but within a true commitment, we continue along the road until we reach our destination.
So what are you really afraid of that has you not commit to creating the things you say you really want in life? What do you value more: protecting yourself in some way or your dream life?

Too many of us want to protect ourselves far more than reach a dream. Too bad.
I have heard von Goeth's comment before and here again, I still like and believe what he says. Protection is natural, we are prejudiced against what we do not know or understand. Even when we would benefit - we hold back. We really need a hand to hold until we can believe and then it is our habit.
