On boldness and commitment

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that 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.
Have you guys entered into something so grand yet so unsure? Something so promising yet has the possibility to destroy you? Something you have waited for so long which will either break you or make you?

I don't know if it's the actual moment of making that decision or the journey leading to it that scares us the most, but in my case, simply thinking about it makes me shiver and, at the same time, smile.

I and my brother will be starting a small project which would require siginificant amount of our time and effort, significant capital, and of course, significant amount of faith and belief  that something good will come out of it. Right now, I can only wish and pray that we never lose that enthusiasm, that the higher powers give due consideration to our effort and intention.

Hayyy... This blog will definitely be a witness to this journey of mine.

To end this short post, let me just continue the passage I quoted above:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.
