Your not only the clay but your also the potter, He had a mission to make himself seen as the person he knew he was and found the tool to accomplish his goal. What inspired me is that he continued through those first days and weeks till he seen and felt results. I need to set and accomplish more goals.

Here is a perfect example of how the smallest of acts, the ones that everyone takes for granted or the ones that are "out of fashion" can change, affect, impact and just simply be that moment of hope for someone without you ever knowing it. Thank you for sharing. -

I saw that most people face the same experiences basically even in their own think about it. At some point or another we all face that place of isolating yourself so that you and God can find your niche and what you can share so that others know that they not alone in their own space and time to ultimately know through God - you will find your door and go through it.. -

I will share this with my classes at Metro. State University, Denver. Thank you! And thank you, Josh!
(This is why, 20 years ago, I developed very high behavioral expectations in and behavioral contracts for my classes. It's not about being forced to like everyone -- it's about respecting everyone's hearts and humanity. Being decent. Having empathy. Being part of a civilization.) -

This video has helped me to be more inspired on helping those who need help. I'm writing a book about my life up till now. I'm now 32 yrs old and had to go though alot of stuff in life including prison 2 times and 4 yrs on parole. This video has helped me with gaining more of a Vision for what I want in my book. Thanks Josh for stepping up. -

I just lost my father a couple of months ago. Even though high school was a very long time ago, I too know what it feels like to feel lost when a parent dies. And I too can hold open doors and bring kindness to another person. Thanks Josh for inspiring me to something so simple to reconnect me to people and the world again. -

Those who bully are the ones filling a void and usually wind up being an empty shell for life. Those who have been bullied, on the other hand, usually wind up being someone important because they learned early on how to survive and strive to make this world a better place. -

- Take a look at more stories of Canadians who go "above and beyond" to make a difference in the lives of everyone they meet.
- When Michael Kaplan's brother was bullied, Kaplan started the Be O.N.E. project to deal with the root causes of the problem.
- Take the next opportunity to hold the door open for someone. And don't forget to make eye contact and smile. :)
