I didn't realize the power of commitment until recently. I had always wanted to do this business since I was a kid, for the love and now for the profit. All I've done all these years is talk about it and at my best, found out what I could about it. That has taken me nowhere. I decided at the beginning of the year that I would finally execute it. But I didn't give it my all, until now. Once I committed my time, my energy, all my thoughts and all my savings, something almost miraculous happened. People rendered all sorts of assistance (and I didn't even tell them about it), and it seemed that everything around me supported it. But this didn't happen until I was committed to it and gave it my all (100 percent). The definition of the word "commit" is to devote oneself unreservedly. This means holding absolutely nothing back, giving a hundred percent. This quote sums up my long story:
"Until one is committed, there is always 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. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would come his way." -W.H. Murray
