until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and spendid plans, that the moment one definately commites oneself then providence moves too. all sorts of things begin to occur which would never otherwise have occured, and a whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforseen incidents and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
