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 of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:

          Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

          Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

W. H. Murray, leader of a  Scottish Himalaya Expedition:

"Changing a habit is like playing a game of chess.In chess there's an early game, a middle game, and an endgame. The same is true for habit change. Many people try to change their habits by skipping straight to the endgame. They dive in and commit themselves to making the change happen right away. This is what people do when they make a New Year's Resolution. It hardly ever works."

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close

they were to success when they gave up."

"Start realizing right now that there's no such thing as failure. There are only results. You always produce a result. If it's not the one you desire, you can just change your actions and you'll produce new results. Cross out the word "failure," circle the word "outcome" in this book, and commit yourself to learning from every experience."

Belief is nothing but a state, an internal representation that governs behavior. It can be an empowering belief in possibility -- a belief that we will succeed in something or achieve something else. It can be a disempowering belief -- a belief that we can't succeed, that our limitations are clear, intractable, and overwhelming. If you believe in success, you'll be empowered to achieve it. If you believe in failure, those messages will lead you to experience that as well." 

Anthony Robbins

TTFD - Worry Fear and Doubt

Worry, Fear and Doubt are my enemies. ( Destructive) 

When they present themselves, I dismiss them and immediately replace them and shift my focus to

ACTION, which is Constructive. fsm
