Go With All Your Heart

Finding beauty in the sadness of life

Go With All Your Heart

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
