Commitment matters. Especially to the pig! The bacon and
eggs breakfast story goes: The chicken participates, the pig is committed.
Joy, love, creativity, compassion and success all flow from
commitment. But it doesn’t have to be like the pig’s commitment. What good is
it if I’m constantly stressed out, debilitated or dead. Balance. The idea is to
experience joy, love, creativity, compassion and success and commitment. Both/and, not either/or. “Whatever you can do, or
dream you can, begin it,” wrote Goethe. “Boldness has genius, power, and magic
in it.”

hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts
of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of
kills countless ideas and splendid plans—that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, the Providence
“All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have
otherwise occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising
in one’s favor all manner unforseen incidents and meetings and material
assistance, which no [one] could have dreamed would have come their way.”
