I came across
this marvelous piece written by William H. Murray. I found this so beautiful
and thought provoking that I could not resist myself of sharing this with you.A little on W H Murray for the people who do not know about him. He was a Scottish writer and mountaineer. Murray did a great deal of his most influential climbing in the period just before World War II and during one of his Himalayan Expedition he has beautifully captured the essence and effects of being committed to a cause in the passage below.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. 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 can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
What message does the above passage impart?
Before all else we needed being committed to take all the actions needed to accomplish the goal and decide to never give up in any circumstances. You need not know about the whole path in advance. Just take the first step towards your goal with all the courage and faith and you would be surprised to see that universe is there to assist you, points you to the right direction, creates miracles for you and even conspires in favor of you.
So just get rid of the hesitancy, be absolutely COMMITTED to the goals you are passionate about!!
