If You Need A Leg Up

Meet Figo, the heroic service dog who jumped in front of a mini school bus to protect his blind owner crossing the street. (Don’t worry -- both dog and human are expected to make full recoveries!)

If You’re Feeling Selfish
Try to be more like James Harrison. The 78-year-old Australian man has been donating blood nearly every week for the past 60 years. In the process -- and despite the fact that Harrison “can’t stand pain” -- his blood has helped save more than 2 million babies.

If You Feel Overlooked

Channel your inner Johanna Colon. The 6-year-old performed a sass-filled number to Aretha Franklin’s “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” at a dance recital in Knightdale, N.C., earlier this month.
