Making that commitment

Are you afraid to commit? Whether it's to a relationship or to a decision, a commitment is required before you are fully engaged. Before you can act.

That, 'just before you decide' moment or hour or day is telling. Is it a test of character or strength? Does it come down to who you are? What you will become? I think maybe it is.

Today I post a quote that may help with a decision--a commitment. I have been reading it all day because of a commitment I must make. It is providing me with determination.

"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.
The moment one definitely commits oneself,
all sorts of things begin to happen
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the committed decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of incidents,
meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed would come his way."

--Goethe

Never be afraid...
