Boldness has genius

[forestdale]

I found this small principle of commitment in one of my Grass Roots magazines. It has value in many circumstances, but I thought the ladies who are yearning for their own simple lifestyle change might find it encouraging. BTW, it was written by Goethe, the German writer and philosopher.

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans ... that, the moment one defintely commits himself then providence moves too.

"All sorts of things occur to help one, that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would come his way.

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
