Crisis May be the Defining Moment for a Leader


Scottish Mountaineer, W.H.Murray's wisdom offers a powerful message to today's leaders as they face a defining moment in their leadership - get committed to a bold plan, and the universe will move with you to enable you to turn your dream into reality.

'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 events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

I have 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. Begin it now!"'
