Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!



Keep this idea running through all your life: “In Thee I live and move and have my being.” ECH
Edging God Out
The miracle dissolves error because the Holy Spirit identifies error as false or unreal. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears.
~  Principles of Miracles #39
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket--keep it in your own."

When you set a goal you need to adopt three qualities to help manifest the end result.
Desire
First, you must have a burning desire to achieve the goal.
Belief
Second,you must have a strong belief that the goal is possible and within reach.
Expectancy
Third, you must be in the state of expectancy – you must be expecting to see results.

 Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless 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 come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. ~ William Hutchinson Murray



When you create goals keep these principles in mind:

  • First ask yourself why do you really want what you want. Keep asking until you reduce the desire to its elementary need.
  • Now focus on this desire or need in your mental programming.
  • Be open to coincidences. Don’t be locked into having the solution come from any one direction.
The miracle acknowledges everyone as your brother and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of God. ~  Principles of Miracles #40
William Hutchison Murray ( 1913 – 1996 ) was a Scottish mountaineer and writer, one of a group of active mountain climbers, mainly from Clydeside, before and just after World War II. W. H. Murray was a mountaineer, an author and a soldier. The three strands of a full life were deeply intertwined; Murray is probably best remembered for the ice climbs he made in his native Scotland more than 60 years ago which set the stage for the publication of two books about Britain's high places. His Mountaineering in Scotland (1947) and Undiscovered Scotland (1951) have an honoured place on the bookshelves of many enthusiasts.

A quotation by Murray is widely misattributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The following passage occurs near the beginning of Murray's The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):
... but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. 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: 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 favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I 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!
The "Goethe couplet" referred to here is from an extremely loose translation of Goethe's Faust lines 214-30 made by John Anster in 1835.

Remember: Expect Miracles!
