Until one is committed...

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, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
― William Hutchison Murray

I had a terrible event happen last night in my personal life. I won't reveal details, but it has shaken my world again. My future is uncertain...

Questions and expectations keep coming up among the Mistborn clan. I have not figured out exactly what will happen...

Recently I cannot focus on my profession. I've been making little progress. Too much else going on to concentrate...

Things are conspiring to bring me down again. I won't let them! No, I've decided here and now that I will make myself stronger. I will take whatever actions I must to survive this.
