“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” we are told, but why? It’s awfully hard to create something new and important without investing your heart and soul into that passionate commitment. Sure, it’s possible the endeavor will fail, that all the eggs will fall and break. But you’re unlikely to ever succeed in something great without putting in all of your eggs.
What are you fully committed to creating?
Today, I attended the UU Service which dealt with commitment versus covenant; there is a difference. If I commit to putting my efforts into one topic, I may fail or I may succeed or I may succeed partially but I think it’s worth it to put every thing I can together to find out what CAN happen ! A covenant is a different matter; it is declaring that I will devote myself unconditionally to support it come what may.
