Day One, return to teaching

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. 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 can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” Goethe

As this day starts my first full week here in the Czech Republic, I wanted to post this quote again. A dear friend I used to work with at the University, with a "great" accent, gave me this while we still worked together and it was an inspiration to me and ultimately gave me the inspiration to move from that University to fulfill my dream of living in Prague in May 2008.

I can once again grab hold of these words, since now there is even more resting on living here then before, as I have sold my house, auto and moved here because of having a job here and not finding back in the states. Plus as you know, I love it here, so it was a no brainer. But I needed to use my brain as well....today

so today, as I begin teaching once again, boldness does have power and it does have magic and I look forward to the magic where ever I may find it. Cheers
