Keep calm & carry on

I'm a big fan of using others' words to find solace in life's curiosities. Often times it's the Bible, other times it's Abe Babe's didactic words of wisdom (#1 fan). Here's my flavor of the week, courtesy of Miss Stephenson:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back--

Concerning all acts of initiative,
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.

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

-Goethe
