is your eye feeling good hey guys
welcome to feeling good the show where I
cast aside the negativity of the world
that always seems to infiltrate our
daily headlines and instead I focus on
the good stuff that warms up our heart
spots and dumps glitter in our brain
space feel good feeling good feeling
good today we're gonna focus on
incredible people who overcome daunting
obstacles and individuals who go the
extra mile to help their fellow man cuz
life is a beautiful dance and it only
gets more beautifuler when we dance
together you should go find a piece
driftwood and scratch that phrase on it
and hang it on your wall for future
inspirations number one six-year-old
alex ping was born with only half of his
right arm and like a little champion he
soldiered through life and made do he
said I still try real hard to do things
like other kids using what I've got but
it's getting harder the more I grow now
the thing about being six is that you're
at that age where you really start to
develop a sense of self and you also
begin to notice the little things that
make you different his mom said he was
like 2 or 3 the first time he realized
he was in preschool and they were
showing him sayings and difference and
he was just sitting in the car and he
looked down and goes my arms are
different and I said what do you mean
and he goes I don't have a hand oh I
feel spots kicked me in the field spot
oh god oh god ok ok but Hugh University
of Florida aerospace engineering student
Albert Manero this genius and his
engineering friends heard about Alex
banded together and engineered a new arm
for the child for free for free he did
it for free it connected right on Alex's
elbow and the hand opens and closes and
Alex controls it with his arm muscles
one of the first things he did when he
gained control was hug his mom oh no all
the feels they hurt so good oh it hurts
so good
Minero says life-affirming stuff like my
mother taught us that we're supposed to
help change the world that's why we did
it and we have a responsibility to do
this with these degrees and engineering
if we can't be helping people with it
then what are they worth oh that's
that's some good quote stuff yeah you
guys ready for some kickers they built
the thing with 3d printers and
off-the-shelf batteries and gears and
crap altogether it only costs three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars nope
oops rewind that we're out there
I read it wrong 350 dollars that's it
that's it in Manero the Sherpa of
awesome that he is is putting the design
plans online for free so other little
lads and ladies who can't afford super
expensive prosthetics have a chance at a
new life that's got me feeling good and
I tell myself I'm over you cuz I'm the
king of feeling good number two to shell
Florence is 24 years old she was 19 the
last time she walked when a
neuromuscular disorder robbed her of her
ability doctors and smart people with
big brains told her that she would never
walk again but in the eternal battle of
brains versus heart never count heart
out Kelly Williams didn't the trainer
just out of coincidence met to shell in
a grocery store parking lot and was
overcome with the need to help her she
believed in tishell even went to shell
and everyone else said she would never
walk again that's the heart spot talking
that's the brightest part of humanity
bursting forth and shining through after
just a month and a half of training
which included patience persistence
courage and some training exercises
specifically tailored to tishell she
took her first steps in six years
imagine how that would feel most of us
can't imagine that because we take this
for granted all the time but not to
shell and to shell wasn't done bt-dubs
just a month after those first steps she
finished a point zero five kilometer
race in Atlanta Georgia holy crap guys
and now she's training for a 5k it's
amazing she said Kelly and I have
determined that as a team we would
continue to work together so that I may
be able to complete more and more races
to prove to the medical world that I
will continue to defy the odds
more like defy the gods you go girl you
got me feeling good yeah I'm feeling
good yeah I'm feeling good and finally
sometimes man's best friend needs man to
be man's best friends best friend like
turbo the Chihuahua born without his two
front legs after his puppy brothers and
sisters bullied him away from Mama's
milk spots his owners bequeathed him to
the local vet and it was there that the
little guy got healthy and in an attempt
to help him through therapy was fitted
with a set of wheels made from toys
pipes from a toy welding kit wheels from
a fisher-price helicopter and a ferret
harnessed joined forces to make this
little guys life a little bit easier
it's adorable and functional and
temporary when he's done growing he'll
get fitted with an action
harness and cart which will for sure
happen because a crowdfunding page was
started to help pay for it and they've
already tripled their goal of $600 oh
