Be Committed

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative and creation…

… there is an 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 have otherwise 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.”     
Mountain Climber Charles Murray

I am a co-founder of a startup company which is finally (wiping forehead ) gaining momentum after 3+ years of very hard work.  Many, many hours making phone calls, meetings, lunches, trips all over the country.  Many internal hurdles and differing personalities have had to be overcome.  A serious investment of time?  Yes, and of life.  Oh, and there is no pay.  Sorry.  And when you seriously doubt you can keep going?  Well, because you made the commitment and you’re sticking to it, a whole new circumstance happens that keeps you in the game, and why give up now?  And you get right back to putting big skin in the game.  And the cycle continues… until someday… you make it… or you don’t.
