There is something powerful in your willingness to take a 
specific action, in faith, in the direction of your goal, with no
guarantee of success. Your action itself seems to trigger all kinds

Until you have taken a specific, irrevocable action of some
kind, you have merely engaged in an enjoyable exercise, like day-
dreaming. You have put your key into the ignition but you haven’t
turned it on.
