“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.”
I like this quote from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. My mum sent me a copy of this many years ago.
Here is the full version:
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 occured.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
What a lovely quote. I hope I can remember it so that I can someday pass it on to my daughters who are only 8 and 5 at the moment. Good luck with your travels and thank for this.
Namaste
