The following is excerpted from the W. H. Murray book "The Scottish Himalayan Expedition" and is, without a doubt, among the most inspirational writing we here at BreastCancerWarrior.net have ever read....and so we offer this to you, in the hope that it will touch your heart and inspire your soul, as it has done for us for many years. Until one is committed, there is 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: 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 that decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it". -- William H. Murray (from his book 'The Scottish Himalayan Expedition")
