Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." --Goethe

An online friend of mine posted a quote from Goethe for a mutual online friend Elizabeth, who is boldly stepping out and away from the safe and familiar in order to follow her Highest Desire, her Heart's Calling...I want to share my response to Victoria's posting here:
Hello Victoria, Elizabeth and others on or considering The Path,

Goethe’s declaration is a favorite of mine:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness...The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred...Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." --Goethe

Upon reading it again in your post Victoria it resonated more strongly than ever before and I was given pause to reflect…its message hits home at an altogether different and deeper level. Of late the Universe has gifted me with the teachings of “The Law of Attraction” and I have been studying various teachings. As I re-read Goethe’s declaration I had an intuitive flash and a work from Gahlil came to mind. Gahlil is the author of Professional Dreamer: 6 Simple Steps that turn Dreams into Reality .

In Gahlil’s work she speaks of “trying, lying, crying” in reference to her own journey of healing and turning her own dreams into reality and the lessons she learned along the way. Essentially Gahlil says that in “trying” we are giving ourselves a way out, a back door exit and in doing so we are giving a mixed message to the Universe. We are not truly in Alignment with the All-That-Is nor the Essence of who we really are. Therein lies the “hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness…” which Goethe speaks so eloquently of. Gahlil shares her discovery that in giving such a mixed message to the Universe in our so-called “trying” we are “lying” to ourselves and eventually end up “crying”.

On the other hand, “the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too…”. The moment one commits oneself to one’s highest desires, one moves from Alignment with All-That-Is and sends an unequivocal message to the Universe from their Highest Self. Like energies draw unto themselves like energies and “all sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred…”. In acting from Alignment, we draw unto ourselves everything that we need to fulfill our Highest Desires and accordingly we manifest said Desires.

“Boldness” does indeed have “genius, power and magic in it.”…and, yes, unequivocally YES, begin it now. Thank you Goethe, Gahlil, Victoria and Elizabeth. Godspeed Elizabeth, the Universe is awaiting to fulfill your every desire. Have courage, move from your natural state of being, that of Joy, Love and Abundance and your every desire will manifest. It is already so.

Joy, Love and Abundance,
Right Here, Right Now,

Bryan
