Genesis - The Boldness to Begin.

The start of something new. The beginning. The anchor point of action in the sea of inaction.

This blog is my new creation.
I will use this site to launch my own new works & works in progress.

We must all start somewhere. Be Bold.

Here’s an interesting quote of W.H. Murray, from the Scottish Himalayan Expedition. Read it carefully.

"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, 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 favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

I have 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."
