Opening Doors and Hearts

42,589 views

Opening a door is more than a physical act. It's about putting yourself out there, getting to know people, making them feel comfortable, and making them feel welcome. After being bullied, Josh Yandt decided to make a change that ultimately had a dramatic impact on his life and on the lives of his fellow students. Watch this sweet story of how the London, Ontario, high school paid forward Josh's acts of kindness and connection.

Be The Change

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. :)

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.
