Too Long for Twitter

I was just reading Political Affairs (my favorite Marxist blog), and this Goethe quote jumped out at me, and I needed to put it somewhere:
"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 decisions, 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, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
Mostly because I've been having a series of life-planning moments (visions?) over the summer, and I'm working on making up my mind and trying to set things in motion, most of which simply requires that I set the right things in motion, as I have nearly reached the point of no return (for the next two years at least). So Goethe inspires me, unexpectedly, and captures a good deal of my experience-based life philosophy. (I am still no Goethe fan.)
