Bullies couldn’t stop this 8-year-old from growing out his hair for charity 

When Florida 8-year-old Christian McPhilamy became interested in cancer research after watching a commercial for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, he decided to do what he could to help those in need. In the absence of a fat checkbook, McPhilamy did the next best thing: He literally gave the hair off his head to those struggling with cancer and other conditions like alopecia. But the story wasn’t as easy as that.

Putting your worth in the hands of others may work for some but for others it’s a dark lonely road. And for those lonely folk, remember… look up. You are made of the stars above, the space dust, the beautiful weirdness, the wonderment of the universe lives inside you. You are alive and breathing for a reason. You’re worth as much as royalty, they’re just people too. Love yourself, know you’re a part of this on going life force in this world and out of it, and you are important. You wouldn’t exist otherwise. Remember, that’s all you have to do.

Never compare yourself to someone you perceive as perfect

Whether that’s Beyonce, or Rihanna, or a Kardashian, you are you and there is nothing wrong with you. You do not have to apologize or make excuses for anything you think you are or others tell you that you are not.  You are good enough to:

wear that dress, those jeans, shoes, try that new hair style or crazy make-up, or go without make-up altogether

wear sexy lingerie

go to that event/school/get that job at that place/join that club

talk to that cute guy

Don’t idolize a woman because of her beauty, wishing you looked like her.  Admiring someone’s beauty is one thing, hating yourself because you think you will never measure up is a waste of time, and you will attract people to you that sense that from you and will agree with your negative thoughts of yourself, and they will bring you even further down!

Remember - your looks are not who you are.  Who you are is how you treat other people and what you do with your life.  Concentrate on your gifts and what you are good at, whether that’s singing, math, or being organized, whatever. Work hard to get good at the things you are good at and the rest will come in time.  In the meantime, you will be enjoying yourself doing the things you are good at and attract people to you who enjoy the same things.

There’s so much bad news swirling around these days, that I thought it’d be nice to share a happy, feel good story. It’s Friday and we want you to go home lifted. 4-year-old Calise Manning is going to help you do just that. Little Calise, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, is being called a hero after calling 911 operators when her pregnant mother was having a seizure. Centerria Manning, Calise’s mother trained her daughter to call authorities if anything ever happened to her. And all of that was put to very good use last week when Centerria, who was 9-months pregnant, collapsed onto the floor, shaking. Instead of panicking, Calise sprang into action. In the 911 audio, obtained by CNN little Calise says, “My mom is really pregnant and she’s having a boy and she really needs help.” During the nearly seven-and-a-half minute call, she gave the dispatcher her name, her mom’s age and address. It seems that even the dispatcher was impressed and asked Calise how old she was. She responded, “Four. Yes, and I’m almost getting bigger.” Calise’s quick thinking and excellent training that ultimately saved not only her mother’s life but the life of her younger brother. Two days later, Centerria gave birth to a healthy baby boy named TJ. Centerria, who has been training Calise since she was two, recounted the incident, “I got up and that’s all I can remember. I woke up and my daughter Calise was standing over me and she was on the phone with 911…I was so proud of her because we practiced and I teach her–because I’m an epileptic– the address and my full name and things like that, and how to dial 911.” The 911 dispatcher suggested that Calise get some type of award for handling herself so well under pressure and saving her mother and brother’s lives. Later that day Centerria said Calise looked down at her and said, “I told you I was going to take care of you if something happened.”

if I offered you $20, would you take it?

How about if I crumpled it up?

Stepped on it?

you would probably take it even though it was crumpled and stepped on it. Do you know why?

Because it is still $20, and its worth has not changed.

The same goes for you; if you have a bad day, or if something bad happens to you, you are not worthless.

if someone crumples you up or steps on you, your worth does not change. You are still just as valuable as you were before.

This time last year I was unemployed, broke, and suicidal.

Today, I just got the keys to my first house.

Give it time.

He wouldn’t have been pecked to death! Oh my god, this man was risking getting his arms, legs, ribs and possibly his skull broken!

Swans are actually ridiculously smart. As long the parent didn’t see any evidence that the baby was hurting, it was probably cool with the rescue. The swan was probably more nervous than anything. 

But the second you fuck up, you get fucked up. Because that’s how swans roll.

I love how the dude is just like “can you not? I’m trying to save your baby”.

You see the mama go over and check out what’s going on, she even starts to get defensive. But as soon as she realizes that he’s doing no harm, she backs off. Yay swans <3
