Commitment
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.
~ Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
“If you're looking for a guarantee, buy a toaster.” ~ Clint Eastwood
Life is far less predictable than a kitchen appliance.
It’s full of opportunities, each possessed of great promise. Yet, there is a catch, of course; each comes with risk.
Opportunities and experiences rarely come with an instruction manual or a guarantee.
While we tend to wait for the “perfect” time – when all our questions will be answered - and all our doubts will vanish.
Unfortunately, that time doesn’t exist.
The truth is that significant personal and professional explorations require a leap of faith.
We gather the necessary info – what is available and then commit.
One day; one step at a time—unable to see the entire staircase (as MLK famously put it), we proceed because we’ve committed and we can see the next step.

From the world of statistics: All models are flawed, but some are useful.
We asked Google’s AI experiment Gemini to “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model.
The short story (no pun intended), is he/she/IT could not.
The best Gemini could offer: “What about people who aren’t aware of their unconscious stories/thinking?”
It’s a good question and a nice attempt. However, an unconscious story is still a story (represented within the model), and that is the point of the latest book, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY where the latest version of the model was revealed.
BTW: You are invited to try and “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model as well.
If you think you can, please email or leave comments here.
*Note: ChatGPT’s does not know the model yet, officially published in October of 2022. GPT’s latest update is from January 2022.

“The Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System” / The Grunburg Behavior Model is a holistic, fluid, and dynamic behavior-change model. It’s the very first behavior-change model to demonstrate how our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even our environment vibrate (echo and reverberate) to influence each other.
Hence, it’s an “Echo-System” not an eco-system. All prior behavior models represent human behavior in a linear-flow type diagram.
Background here.
