When you make up your mind to do something no matter what, the whole world becomes available for your success.
When you make a firm decision, the people, resources and things you need show up.
In fact, they were always there, worthless, until you committed.
Once you resolve to do a thing, you become awake to what you need.
The truth is, the world is waiting on you – to decide.
I always liked this Amelia Earhart quote
“The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity.”
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: 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, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
W.H. Murray
“They were always there, worthless, until you committed.”
That statement is profound! It is so true and so many people struggle because they aren’t committed to success.
There is a truth that I have observed throughout life and it is that if a person is willing to put forth the effort, show enthusiasm and take on the risk then others will notice and be delighted to help if they see it as a worthwhile goal. I have experienced this personally when people are unwilling to do something themselves but so very willing to help someone else do the same thing. What they are lacking is the confidence to personally make the commitment.
We should have confidence knowing that the world is out there, waiting for us to commit, so that it can help us to succeed.
