wholeheartedness

Total emotional investment

Wholeheartedness is complete sincerity and commitment, without reservation or doubt.

Someone who approaches a task with wholeheartedness holds nothing back: Her wholeheartedness in pursuing the cause inspired others to join.

The quality implies both emotional investment and full effort—not half-measures or hedged bets.
