It's pretty sad how many people I know who have jumped into things without a real commitment to what it entails or what will be required by it. I mean, really, how or why would you get into something without a real intent or expectation to do what it takes to make it succeed? Doesn't it then become pointless and meaningless when it ends up nowhere?


When I joined The Uprise, I did it with the intent of doing it all the way, lugging all the needed equipment, finding a way to make sure all sounded great and even put in an emotional and spiritual investment. Something intended to be great, EXPECTED to be amazing requires no LESS than excellence.


Same thing when I joined 173 Productions LLC. I was asked to help out with a thing here or there but when asked to be part, I decided that 173 was going to be the best sounding I'd seen. We've had issues here or there, but at our next concert, There will be AWESOMENESS of sound.


It does happen in some cases though where you can put your all, 100% into something and have it blow up in your face. I know what that's like entirely. When it has happened to me though, its usually because I gave my all but someone else of which 100% was also needed, failed to give it for some reason. Sure it ends up not entirely being your fault, but the emotional toll it takes FROM having given your all and then it all becoming NOTHING really, really leaves a mark. Worse even is when its a relationship, like my last one that was great until it was turned to waste. Nope, still not over it, though I've tried and tried, its just not easy.


We can't control others, but we can control ourselves and what I've learned is that when decided to take part of something, I do it with my all. I know giving my all in something like Worship will never end badly if I give my 100% cause God NEVER fails, but even when its something dependant on other people giving their 100%, even if THEY don't, YOU give your all. If it all turns out to reach the greatness of fulfillment, then awesome, but if it does an Apollo 13 and all you end up being able to do is see what COULD have been, make sure you GIVE that 100% so that when the opportunity of greatness comes near again, there won't be a question as to who WILL be chosen for it. Those who don't give it their all, well, they'll just keep on failing as much as they fail to give their all.


Give your all...
