W. H. Murray wrote the following during one of the first Himalayan expeditions:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts 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. 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."
Before we can experience these unforeseen incidents and assistance we must first totally COMMIT to our intention. We must make the first move in faith with gratitude, purpose and action.
Commitment means believing in your heart of hearts that you can CREATE and do DESERVE your intention.
Commitment is devoting oneself UNRESERVEDLY, doing whatever it takes without question and doing it with an attitude of gratitude.
Are YOU commited?
One of the best first moves you can make, for any action, is to plan your path with someone who can share the emotion and visualize YOUR success. I am willing to help anyone who needs that partner in making the first move.

Bravo Marshall! Another beautiful essay. This is a very useful blog, many layers to your messages. I read it at the very last part of my evening, just prior to shutting down... Why? After viewing and researching stories and events all night which are, lets face it, most often "negative", it's very easy to cloud the mind with so much bad energy and then - go sleep on it(!?). Your blog is my late night vitamin pill. It's good medicine to end on a positive, constructive note. BTW, Humour is good, too... we all should "laugh our guts out" at least once a day. Did you know that? Belly laughing is ideal. (seriously)
