for some reason it made me pause and think. what does it mean? i don't usually stop to wonder at the definition of every word but this one just caught my attention. of course we've all heard it before but i couldn't remember what it really meant; ya know, one of those words people throw around and it may seem obvious to define. but i wanted to take a look anyway. here:
wholehearted:
1: completely and sincerely devoted, determined, or enthusiastic wholehearted student of social problems
2 : marked by complete earnest commitment : free from all reserve or hesitation
it got me thinking. (maybe i just had too much time on my hands). am i completely, one hundred percent devoted to anything? not staying in shape because i don't hit the gym every day. not eating a perfectly balanced diet because i have a sweet tooth and it can get the better of me every now and then. not music because, as much as i'd like to, i can't make myself practice all the time. the list can go on and on.
i think, though, that everyone should try to be wholehearted about at least one thing in their life; whether it's a commitment to academics, or your job, or a friendship, or a sports team; the possibilities are endless.
of course there is one thing that we should all be wholehearted about: our faith. to avoid hypocrisy.
(if only it was that easy)
