Changes

Now let us begin the other [[phase]] of this [[discourse]], and that is that you do have a great deal of control over your life, energetically.  I wish you to recall the short [[writing]] by [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe Goethe], dealing with [[providence]].  It says that Providence has almost a surreal way of arranging [[events]] to occur.  Now Providence is real (Providence with a capital “P”), is the [[mysterious]] part of the [[universe]] [[action]], which even I am not fully aware of.  There is something in the [[architecture]] of the [[universe]], at the grandest scales, which coordinates the [[serendipity]], happenstance, and [[synchronicity]] of [[developments]], which brings about unexpected “[[good]].”

<blockquote>[Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (& creation), there is one elementary truth --the ignorance of which kills countless ideas & 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 & meetings & 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.</blockquote>

Do you have questions?  (Pause.)  It is something to ponder, is it not?
