The search for PROVIDENCE...

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 and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

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


This is my favorite quote/saying, by my favorite philosopher Goethe (I know, its strange thinking I have a favorite philosopher and even stranger that its a German...yikes). This is the first time in my life that I am having trouble applying it my life. I don't have decisions to make, I'm not at a crossroads, not searching for direction. I should be but I just don't want to...I think I need to regroup, restart and refresh my who, what, where, when and how and come up with some choices...then maybe I can deal with Goethe.
