There is something beautiful about the instinct of a child to protect another. Before we learn the divisions that separate us, before we are taught to fear or distrust one another, there is within us a powerful capacity to care, to help, to protect, and to love. And yet we live in a world where our algorithms and media too often amplify the worst of humanity. The cruelty, the outrage, the selfishness, the division. Meanwhile, millions upon millions of acts of kindness, decency, grace, and compassion happen every day, often unseen and uncelebrated. We can begin to believe the lie that cruelty defines us, that selfishness is our nature, that the ties that divide us are stronger than the bonds that unite us. But there is so much goodness in this world. So many people looking out for one another. So many people stepping forward to help, to serve, to protect. We are at our best when we recognize that we belong to one another. That our strength is found not in selfishness but in service, not in division but in community, not in indifference but in love. And sometimes it takes a little child, stepping forward to protect those smaller than herself, to remind us of this profound truth. May we see more of this. May we be more of this.

Awe and wonder. May we never lose them. Gratitude to this young person for this wonderful reminder. May we never become so accustomed to this life that we stop seeing its majesty, its grace, its astonishing beauty. Awe may not change the world. But it can change how we move through it. It can make us more grateful, more humble, more alive to the beauty around us and perhaps more alive to the beauty in each other. May we find awe in nature. And may we never stop finding wonder in one another. Op: Upworthy

Here’s to the humble heroes among us. The people who look out for others. Who step in when someone is in danger. Who protect our children and help keep our communities safe. They may never make headlines, but every day, in ways large and small, they make a difference. May we see them. May we thank them. May we be more like them. op: Pubity

Here is to those souls who inspire us. The ones whose spirit is a spark that ignites something in us all. Who show grit when others might give up. Who persist through doubt, discouragement, and disbelief. Who bring enthusiasm to barren landscapes where cynics and naysayers thrive. There is something powerful about an indomitable spirit. It doesn’t just carry one person forward. It lifts others. It reminds us what is possible. This young man lifted me. I hope he lifts you too. May we see more of this spirit. May we summon more of it in ourselves. Op: ESPN and @jessicaleedavenport

Encourage someone. Celebrate someone. Lift someone up. In a world where so many are weighed down by life’s relentless struggles, even the smallest act of encouragement can remind someone that there is still goodness in this world and that they have the power to rise.

Defy. Resist. Refuse to conform. This world often tries to tell us who to be. It drowns us in messages that subdue the spirit. It makes us embarrassed to speak out, to speak up, or even to unleash one of the most powerful forms of resistance: unconquerable joy. Our algorithms lie to us. The media too often drowns out the light in a constant stream of negativity. Don’t give in. There is goodness. There is joy. There are so many people who refuse to live like thermometers, merely reflecting the energy imposed upon them. They are indomitable thermostats: they set the temperature, bring the warmth, light fires in other people’s spirits, and free them from a climate of fear. See them. Be them. op: @the.side.quest.project

There are everyday heroes everywhere. A bystander is being praised after stepping in to protect a 12-year-old boy during a frightening encounter with a dog. According to reports, the man quickly placed himself between the child and the animal, helping prevent the situation from becoming more serious. op: @globixanews

The kindness of strangers. The unexpected connection. The generosity of spirit that says: I see you. I’ll meet you in this moment. Here’s to those who interrupt the rush of their own lives to enter someone else’s joy. Who play along. Who make a child feel seen. Who turn an ordinary moment into a memory. Sometimes kindness is simply being willing to join someone else’s race. May we see more of that. May we celebrate it. May we be it. op: @regent_lodge_georgian_home

op: @loveforlifeeua One of the most emotional moments following the powerful earthquakes in Venezuela involved Tsunami, a rescue dog who was seen receiving intravenous fluids after spending several consecutive days working through the rubble. Exhausted, he was treated by the rescue team shortly after completing another mission to search for survivors. Before becoming one of the country’s leading rescue dogs, Tsunami was a victim of abuse and abandonment. After being rescued, he underwent years of training and eventually earned international certification to take part in search-and-rescue operations in disaster-hit areas. During the earthquakes in Venezuela, Tsunami helped locate around 13 people alive beneath the rubble. The treatment shown in the video marked the end of his fieldwork and the beginning of his retirement, closing a remarkable journey dedicated to saving lives.

To belittle is to be little. Never underestimate the power of a kind word, an encouraging comment, a sincere acknowledgment, or a simple expression of gratitude. Be the person who lifts up those others put down. Be the person who sees those too often overlooked. Be the person who celebrates those too rarely celebrated. The smallest act of encouragement can become someone else’s reason to keep believing in themselves.

Here’s to humankind at its best, when we are both human and kind. Here’s to compassion that knows no boundaries, to grace extended to all living things, especially the vulnerable and those in need. Here’s to those who go out of their way, who see suffering and refuse to look away, who see a creature in distress and choose to act. May we see more of this. May we be more like this. Op: Sassy

All across our country, there are good people who every day step up, step forward, and step into the breach to help others. Our algorithms too often amplify outrage and division. Our media too often elevates the cruel, the demeaning, and the degrading. But the truth is, our nation is filled with humble heroes. Everyday people who see someone in need and act. Who don’t hesitate to help. Who don’t ask what religion someone practices, what race they are, or what political party they belong to. They act because they recognize our common humanity, because they see the dignity and worth in others, because kindness and decency are stronger than the divisions that too often dominate our attention. This woman and the nurses she rallied remind us that heroes are all around us. And that when we come together, we can literally save lives. May we see more of this. May we be more of this.

I was in Israel when the horrific attacks carried out by Hamas started on Saturday. My team and I are now safe, but like many we are shaken, angered, and heartbroken by the hundreds killed, the thousands injured, those taken hostage, and all who are directly affected by these sickening terrorist attacks. After this experience, more than ever, I am committed to working with my colleagues in the Senate to continue supporting Israel’s security and ensuring stability in the region — and I hope one day soon, a long-term and just peace in the region.

Here’s to those who teach us grit, perseverance, and self-reliance. Who believe in us enough to step back, give us room to struggle, and let us discover what we are capable of. And here’s to those who keep trying. Who refuse to give up. Who find a way to carry heavy loads, overcome obstacles, and show others what is possible. May we raise more children who believe they can. And may we never stop believing in ourselves and the generations to come. op: Deddeh Howard

Here’s to a celebration of life, of music, of art, of creativity, and of the beautiful power of inclusion. When we come together across our differences, when we recognize the gifts and talents in each other, we create something greater than any one of us could create alone. Like a marching band, we make better music when everyone has a part to play, when every person is valued, when every gift is welcomed, and every voice is heard. We are a stronger people, a better nation, and a more beautiful world when we recognize the dignity, worth, and extraordinary potential in one another. This is the power of a beloved community. May we see more of this. May we be more like this.

Here’s to young heroes. To children whose courage, presence of mind, and instinct to help remind us that even the youngest among us can rise to extraordinary moments. When their mother collapsed, these two children didn’t just witness a crisis. They stepped up. They took action. They called for help. And here’s to the extraordinary first responders who answered that call. To the family that surrounded these children with love. To the communities of caring that remind us that none of us stands alone. We are bound together by ties of compassion, service, and love. These connections don’t just reflect our humanity. They help define it. What could have been an even greater tragedy was made better by the courage of two little children and the people who came to their aid. God bless these young heroes. May they always know how special they are, how much their courage mattered, and how much this world needs the light they showed in a moment of darkness. May we see more of this. May we be more like this. op: @davidjustinn
