Sometimes I feel Spirit is so bold, it’s startling. I find myself moved to express so boldly sometimes and I am frequently uncomfortable with it, but follow my intuition anyway. I’ve learned to trust. I’ve learned to have faith. I’ve learned to not hesitate.
One of my all-time favorite quotes is from W.H. Murray. The following passage is from the beginning of Murray’s The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):
… but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. 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 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!
The whole key to living an inspired life is to follow inspiration! Go for it!
