improve themselves; they therefore remain bound."

things that we have no control over BUT how many of us are actively
practicing that?

Are you practicing it?

Commit Your Ideas On Paper ~ Anonymous

Commitment ~ Goethe

"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 which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

That the moment that one definitely commits ones self
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 substance
Which no one could have dreamt
Would have come your way.

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

GOETHE

Commitment ~ Napoleon Hill

"The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts of unforeseen

If there is something we can do to address our concern, go do it.
If there is nothing we can do, then why worry?
