Of any thing ask, 'what is it's nature'?: AVATAR: Behind the scenes #1

Boldness

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning 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 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 dreamt would have come his way.

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

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Begin it now."

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
