There is no shortage of viral videos on the internet that are here one day, and old news the next.


But every once in a while we get an update from an old favorite that we never expected.

Twitter was incredibly impressed with just how far RJ has come.

And to people who praised how well everyone originally handled RJ's fears.




We can't wait to see what the future holds for this rising star.

"The eighth installment of the Mindful Mantras series equips children with the necessary skills to realize that they can push through their self-doubt and do difficult things because they are brave and strong."
