People say if you are going to do something do it with all your heart, not half-heartedly.

In a world like today it can be hard to do things such as loving people or showing kindness. The world can steal your love, and kindness, and your first instinct is to hide your heart from love.

I see people every day who are always telling people it's weakness to show kindness or love to someone, or something. These people are the individuals who let the world get to their heart and took the easy way out and hide their heart from the world.

Love will hurt you. Your friends will hurt you. Your family will hurt you.

Hurt isn't something we can run from or hide from. You can run or hide from love, but you end up miserable and missing out on beautiful things because one or two people hurt you. If I let everybody who hurt me take away my heart, I wouldn't have been able to experience so many beautiful and wonderful things because I was scared of pain.

If I do feel pain, it is like a beautiful sadness; it reminds me that I'm human and that I truly cared about something in my life--even if that something is gone now that I was lucky enough to feel that much happiness for something or someone to feel this much sadness.

Don't let the world tell you love and kindness are weak: they are not. We're not robots; were humans. Every heartbreak, disappointment, or setback you encounter can make you give yourself only half-heartedly.

So wherever you go and in whatever you do, do it with all your heart.

No matter what life throws at you, the fact you are still alive to feel pain is a beautiful sadness. The world needs more whole-hearted people because it takes strength to know that at the other end of a situation, you could be heartbroken but to do it anyway takes courage, not weakness.

Go with all your heart.
