Good Human Awards - The antidote for the news

What the world needs...is another award? Maybe not. But it does need more goodness. It's starting here. You can find out more at JenHardy.net

The good human award is a weekly award given to someone for being a good human. By definition, according to dictionary.com, good means “morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; or pious.” 

Let’s face it, the world has gone whackadoodle. Everywhere we turn, we find proof that people are mean, self-serving, and can’t be trusted. 

But some people defy those standards. They are willing to be honest, even if it’s to their detriment. They are willing to help others, even when it will cost them something. They are willing to be good, even when society tells them that good guys finish last. 

These humble awards honor those good people. These awards will not honor people whose names are on the tongues of the multitudes. They are not statues or made of gold. They are not a big ring to wear and show off. Merely a recognition of goodness by a fellow human who is thankful to know we share the same air on this great planet.

I am Jen Hardy. Mom of seven, wife of a veteran, podcaster, author, speaker, and community builder. My sphere is small, but that’s where the good needs to start. Small. My hope is that this grows. Grows to be a movement, a movement of good humans. 

When I look around at the world, it can be a scary place. But I’ve brought seven children up in it, and I very much intend for them to have a good world to grow old in, and I am going to do my part to make that happen. Starting now. 

Today, the first good human award is being given. And I couldn’t think of a better recipient! Sam Mitchell is spreading awareness about autism through his podcast, speaking gigs, and his nonprofit. Sam is an exceptional young man who just so happens to have autism. But it’s not who he is. Who he is, is a good human. Someone who wants to help others, someone who craves to make the world a better place. And that’s why he’s here. 

As a parent of children with autism, I know what a struggle it can be. And I’m not talking about the challenges of autism, I’m talking about the challenges of dealing with the world the way it is. Sam has taken on the world, and he, is WINNING. He’s making it a better place, he’s making people understand, and he’s giving a voice to those who literally do not have one.
