First, a special message from Justin Young: "Bullying, drug abuse, teen depression, sexting, teen pregnancy, suicide, etc. are only symptoms; they are not the disease. Like using Tylenol to treat a brain tumor, treating symptoms instead of the disease will only bring temporary relief. If the disease itself is ignored, then, like a cancer, it will spread, and all the medicine in the world will not be able to save them from the the tragic, inevitable results.
"There IS an answer. There IS a cure. The disease lies in the individual's view of their own self-worth. The Pink Shoe Hero Foundation is here to "Inspire the Heroes of Tomorrow" by providing the cure to the disease today. Whether you're a parent, guardian, a youth leader, etc., our goal is to make it easier for you and your youth to manage, and eliminate the symptoms by providing the motivation and education to begin treating the disease."

JUSTIN'S QUOTABLE QUOTES:
"Our actions are reflections, not of who we are, but who we think we are." ******* “If you want to change a bully, change how they see themselves.” ******* “If you’re afraid of the dark, just turn up the light." ******* "Unfortunately, it seems that human nature is to always look back instead of ahead; to look down instead of up. We’re so focused on our feet that we forget we have wings. " ******* “Our attitudes are the results of who we believe ourselves to be.” ******* ”“Hate is a tool used by those who are unhappy with their own lives.” ******* "Each of us have been born with the potential for greatness. We are equals. That doesn’t mean we are born into equal circumstances, or have equal skills. What we do have in common, though, is the ability to apply ourselves to achieving that which we desire." ******* “If today was your last day, how would you be remembered?” ******* "Inside EVERY student… good or bad… is a HERO waiting to be born." ******* “Everyone has HERO potential. The trick is helping them see it.” ******* "Perspective determines attitude; attitude determines actions; actions determine outcome and defines who we are." ******* "The fact that we're all different is the one thing we all have in common." ******* "How we look at life depends on how we see ourselves." ******* "What separates Heroes from Villains? Perspective." ******* "[Self] Perception is directly proportional to performance. Change a youth's perception, and you change their performance, their future... and their life." ******* "Just because your feet are on the ground, doesn’t mean you weren’t born to fly." ******** |
"Justin spoke to us in so many ways.
He was able to talk with us in such a positive manor about such a negative subject. He explained the right thing to do and quickly turned anger to empathy. Justin was our HERO and equipped us with the information to carry that torch for others." -Cassie Pettit, Rainbow Lake Middle School, SC |
