Never touch anything with half of your heart.
When you do something you love, you put your whole heart into it, right? You wouldn't want to waste the time and energy of doing something with only half of your heart in it. We need to put our whole heart and soul into everything we do. The world simply needs more people who think this way about their jobs, school, relationships, and everyday tasks. This quote reminds me of a Bible verse I recently memorized.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." - Colossians 3:23
There are a lot of things in my everyday life that I just flat out do not want to do, so my heart is not in it. This does not usually work out well for me. My bad attitude spoils my mood and the task doesn't get done properly. In my experience, it is best to put your whole heart into whatever you approach in life. After all, God calls us to work at whatever we do with ALL of our heart. This means I should be doing the dishes as if I were doing them for God, not just my parents, and etc. When you think of doing tasks with this mentality, they get easier. It is also easier to find real joy in doing them, and not just fake it.
So whatever it is that YOU do, put your WHOLE heart into it as if you are working for God, not for humans. People will take start to take notice of your passion, effort, and joy.
