Magic Words
" 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 favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man can of dreamed would of come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749 - 1832

Hello Heather, Thank you for your feedback. One of my favourites quotes, anyone reading it for the first time can gain a profound insight. Take care. Paul
A favorite of mine....nice to read it again.
It's really a succinct summary about how the mind works!
Many thanks for sharing it.
Warmly, Heather
Hello Heather, Thank you for your kind comments. I'm really glad you liked the quote, and for anyone who hasn't come across it before will perhaps steer them towards their dreams. Take care. Paul
I had to read this through several times before I understood Paul. I was reminded of a verse from the Bible (Joshua 1:9) which initially led me to sign up for the WAU on January 23, 2015.
Now nearly 2 months later, 'tho I've yet to see the financial rewards, I'm not fazed, because in the meantime I've been blessed with friends of all ages and chatting with young ones and "Baby Boomers" in the WA family.
So I thank you Paul for this insight. This will see me through till the rewards come in. God bless....

Hello Shirley, We all need a boost now and again. This quote encapsulates the very essence of possibility. By taking small steps brilliant things can happen. Take care. Paul
Thank you for your kind encouragement, and I have been listening and learnt much from my many mentors (though they don't know they're my mentors).
I read and absorb most blogs and the comments in them that come my way, as there are facts, advice and helpful links apart from the lessons.
My son helps me to set up all the useful links in my websites, and 'tho they're not quite ready, should be anytime soon (or later). It doesn't matter, and as you say above, "brilliant things can happen".
Thank you again Paul, bless you......
Shirley
