Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Here's a quote for today (that'll take a lifetime to think about and act upon!). Hope you enjoy it! Melody Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that 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. " Goethe, in " Faust, " as translated by Anster, 1835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Wow! This is a powerful quote and apropos. I made a commitment to move to the next level of my transformation by having skin reduction surgery. It is so true what your quote says. Since I made the decision to get the ball rolling and schedule my first surgery date I have gained a sense that I am finally coming full circle. I have not achieved thinness but I am considered a " normal " size. The excess skin still keeps me from actualizing acceptance of my body image. While still seeking further weight loss,I am now developing realistic expectations and limitations of my physical self. There is more to life than dwelling on one's weight. It is just a number.
