Fear of commitment?

A few words from the German philosopher, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749- 1832). 




Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In lines that have come to be known as "Where commitment leads,
providence follows," he writes: 

"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 favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which
no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever
you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power
and magic in it. Begin it now."
