The Moment One Definitely Commits Oneself, Then Providence Moves Too

William Hutchinson Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):

“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 favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

THAT is so critical to trend following success, or any success for that matter.

Note: Tip to Tim Ferriss.
