W.H. Murray – elementary truth

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of creation there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of events and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way.” ~W.H. Murray, who led a Scottish Himalayan Expedition.
